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.

 

Month to month, all consoles declined from January to February

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 10th Jan 2009 to 31st Jan 2009:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS
Total Others	695,692	332,268	429,638	354,265	835,936

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Feb 2009 to 28th Feb 2009:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS
Total Others	593,176	294,945	347,095	260,759	736,103

 

March wasn't very different from February (Wii/PSP/DS dropped slightly, PS3/360 increased slightly)

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 07th Mar 2009 to 28th Mar 2009:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS
Total Others	551,394	308,156	351,186	242,509	684,556

Anyway I don't like month-to-month comparisons much. They're usually misleading due to seasonal variations.
