Gee whiz, when did this come up?! I swear, the updates come at the most random times...

Anywho... here's this week's WoW:

Console	Last Week	This Week
	168,205	221,485
	115,117	116,549
	76,794	78,831
	66,003	55,276
	46,549	54,735

Wii: +53,280
PSP: +8,186
360: +2,037
DS: +1,432
PS3: -10,727

And as for YoY (March 8, 2008):

Console	Last Year	This Year
	110,209	116,549
	77,195	221,485
	68,572	54,735
	66,138	78,831

Wii: +144,290
360: +12,693

That Wii YoY is what I like to call an improvement.

Juts done some extra sums on the YOY trends for the whoe of 2009 v 2008 thus far....

I think this shows the PS3 is in dire need of cutting the price now. Looking at the calander after RES5 there is not much coming of note until the end of the year really for any of the consoles.

I would not be surprised to hear Sony announce the price drop at GDC next week. It threw everything it had at the last 2 weeks (releasing YK3,KZ2, new cheaper bundles in europe/japan, mass marketing etc) and for all that they lasted a week at the top. barely making a dent in the Nintendo/Microsoft armor.

One thing is for sure in my book whatever happens in the next 4 months will make or break this gen for Sony.
