Year on year comparison does not look too good. Xbox 360 now selling about the level it did prior to the price cut. 

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 03rd May 2008 to 03rd May 2008:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS	PS2
Total Others	216,290	164,040	137,037	81,374	210,186	90,935

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 02nd May 2009 to 02nd May 2009:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360	PSP	DS	PS2
Total Others	110,169	47,927	60,702	39,127	160,478	25,408

Holy Crap!

I hadn't checked last year yet.

Unusually it seems Wii and DS are down the least percentage, although still depressingly close to 50% down for Wii.

 

I have a feeling he's comparing WW numbers to Others numbers...I don't think the PS3 could have sold 164k in Others alone last year outside of MGS4's launch week and the holiday season.

No it is just the Others numbers for the week ending May 3rd 2008. What's not mentioned; however, is that included in this week last year was the launch of GTAIV, which helps to account for some of the large numbers for PS3/360.

edit: yeah, aderoche also said it, but MK Wii was still pretty new at this time, week 4 in others
