It would appear to be cooling down in others as well. 2nd quater 2008 averaged 180k sales. Now it is dipping into the 120s without a turnaround it will be down 500k+ sales YOY in quater 2.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Jan 2009 to 28th Mar 2009:

Console	Wii
Total Others	1,840,262

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 12th Jan 2008 to 29th Mar 2008:

Console	Wii
Total Others	1,359,376

As you can see, it's 35% up from the same quarter of 2008. Quite the opposite of cooling down.

 

So you don't think that Wii sales in Others is declining month on month in 2009? The chart I linked seems to show that it is. Yes Wii is up quater on quater, it was heavily supply constrained in Jan/Feb last year.
