But let's look at this a different way. Quarterly sales, and market share. Q4 06 - 1.13M - 62% Market share Q1 07: - 1.07M - 70% Q2 07: 0.96M - 82% Q3 07: 0.76M - 73% Q4 07: 1.24M - 66% Q1 08: 1.14M - 73% Q2 08: 0.69M - 73% Q3 08: 0.5M - 65% Q4 08: 0.83M - 62%
So far into Q1 09: 0.34M - 49%
You're telling me that's not a huge drop marketshare wise? It's dropped from having 70-75% to being around 50%.
So far into Q1, Wii is at 48% in Others. Japan may very well end up being the Wii's weakest area (marketshare wise).
In the OP, you're talking Market Share, so that's what I did. Looking at market share, people aren't overreacting at all. |
Interesting figures, and certainly worrying for Nintendo. Of course, it might be that the console market has shrunk in Japan and Wii is nearing saturation, but it doesn't make it any better for Nintendo.
OT: Advertising Travian should be a bannable offense, it's gotta be the worst, most addictive and time consuming game of all time ;)
