| Alterego-X said: It is also interesting to consider, that from what we know, Wii can follow either the "PS2 model" or the "DS model" http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=Wii®1=All&cons2=DS®2=All&cons3=PS2®3=All&weeks=258&weekly=1 The PS 2's sales increased for 3 Christmas seasons, reached its peak, and started decreasing significantly. The DS had five gradually increasing Christmas, and from what we know, the next one can still bring new increase. In other words: What is the reason behind the DS longetivity? The fact that it is a handheld, or that it is a Blue Ocean product? If it is the latter, we can expect 2,5-2,8 million Wiis sold in this December, even bigger sales in 2010 December, and much bigger sales in 2011, complete with constantly shrinking PS360 numbers. In this case, even 60% would be an understatement. |
I believe that, as a handheld it sells differently. We can expect that quite a number of families have more than one DS at house, while we can't say the same 'bout wii.
Some have a Ps3, a 360 and even a wii at home. But I don't think that there are a lot that own 2 wii's or 2 360, right?
I believe that the happier a member of one family gets with a handheld, the easier is to sell to the rest of them. So, I can see the Wii selling less after his peak (not that THIS Christmas is his peak). BUT, DS shall have his peak one day, right?
IF Wii keeps selling more and more, that's because it's a blue ocean product, if DS sells like that, it has the cherry of *handheld* on top of that.

We want to know, deep down, that there are hundreds of grieving mothers out there, lamenting the terror of our dreaded blade."
