So we have the following changes YOY to march 7th for worldwide numbers.  i.e. Jan to March 7th 09 v Jan to March 8th 08 (I have assumed Famitsu for Japan numbers for this week only)

 

Wii up 40%

360 up 59%

PS3 down 13%

 

It is clear that the market as a whole is up, so if this is extrapolated throught he rest of 2009 then we would have year end numbers of:

 

wii   sales of 34.35m   year end: 78.8m

360  sales of 17.65m   year end: 44.6m

PS3  sales of 9.02m   year end:  28.2m

 

I think the install bases are such that none of the consoles can expect much of a hardware boost from any new game launches, be it a Halo, Gears, GOW or GT5 title. (if indeed any of those hit 2009)

I have to say the wii number looks a bit too big for me and the PS3 one a bit low... but thats what the stats give us.

Discuss?

 

 

The numbers look good but all depends on a PS3 cut of when and how much.  I think a decent curt early in the year and you can add 3-5 million more easy



PS3, WII and 360 all great systems depends on what type of console player you are.

Currently playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Fallout 3, Halo ODST and Dragon Age Origins is next game
