On point #2: The Wii is up YTD in 2009 over 2008 and it continuously outsells both the PS3 and 360 COMBINED. The XBox360 is not gaining any ground whatsoever. The 360 was up YoY in March as it had shortages in March '08 where the Wii had the launch of a system selling game (SSBB). That was not so in 2009. And I don't understand the assumption that Nintendo just has to keep the $250 price point forever. As long as the Wii outsells the HD consoles combined, it is INCREASING it's market share.

Might want to update your stats.

for #2, as of this week the Wii is now down 50k YoY in 2009 compared to 2008 ( provided Japan is around 20k as MC says).

 

And little wonder why. Brawl, Mario Kart and Wii Fit versus ExciteBots. It's impressive that those three games are still driving sales a year after they released, but Nintendo has gone far too long without a new system seller.

Just a couple more months until June.
