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.

 

 

The Wii is down 68% YoY this week compared to the same week last year...

 

Correct, but that's cherry picking. That was GTA4 week, when Nintendo artificially dumped a huge amount of Wii stock to sell 741k (which is more they can even produce in a week):

The PS3 sold 272k that week, and the 360 sold 227k. So they'll be down by similar percentages, which doesn't mean anything given the context.

 

 

The quarter is still young....

It most likely will be down YoY 40 to 50% 2 more weeks in May alone...
