How can it be in a death spiral when it is still selling as much as it is? I think the main part of them not selling as well is that they do not advertise at all. Well actually I haven't actually seen a videogame related commercial for like 3 or so months. I still think it is amazing that the most expensive console is selling decently in this recession we are in. I think that it definitely not in a death spiral and can be pulled around to selling better.
End of 2009 sales predictions:
PS3 - 33 Million 360 - 40 Million Wii - 75 Million
