If you compare software releases in the same period of 2008 vs 2009, it kind of puts things into context. Software still sells hardware.

Having said that, I wouldn't be that surprised if sales were lower this year, especially due to the recession. I was never too convinced that the gaming industry wouldn't feel the impact as many believed. Not all the unemployed people will buy a console.

 

 

That was my argument in http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=67999&page=1

but pretty much everyone disagreed with me :p

 

Well that and now that Wii are in stock everywhere customers do not feel compelled to buy one when they see one....

But in that thread you said the Wii will be 50% down year-over-year during several weeks of Q2... which is nowhere near happening if I'm seeing the numbers right.
