because the trend is now downwards.

Yes but this is out of context.  If you are talking YOY then you are comparing this year with no major releases to last year where there were several huge releases in the second quarter for the Wii.  If you are talking compared to earlier in the year what does that actually mean?  The Wii sold more than a million fewer systems in the 3rd quarter last year than they did in the 2nd quarter.  That represents a far more significant downward trend than we have seen so far this year, yet they went on to have the biggest holiday season for a home console ever.  The software will come and sales will pick up again.  Last year the Wii had an unusually big second quarter, this year, it wil be the third quarter instead, mark my words.
