Compared to last year...
2008 week ending 5th Jan to week ending 9th Feb
Wii 1,909,368 47.4%
PS3 1,256,497 31.3%
360 854,869 21.3%
Total 4,020,734
2009 week ending 3rd Jan to week ending 7th Feb
Wii 2,733,445 52.8% (up 824,077 or 43.2% on 2008)
PS3 1,051,797 20.3% (down 204,700 or 16.3% on 2008)
360 1,395,980 26.9% (up 541,111 or 63.3% on 2008)
Total 5,181,222 up 28.9%
So in a rising market the Wii is taking off, the 360 is follwing that market.
BUT what I am asking is 360 is up 500K in January.....however wii was up by more.
I am wondering whether this increase in sales i actually worth of taking note considering the xbox 360 is at a mass market price point but the wii increase still proves to be greater.

The market is up 29%... but the 360 isnt following the market at all... its actually up 63% - more than twice the market.
UP 63% YOY - very impressive.

Also the NP showed xbox 360 was roughly up 25% YOY....so is a 25% increase really good for a console coming of a holiday season where its price was cut to a mass market price point??
just a thought....want to know your opinion
We may have an answer......check first part of this post again
