| Killergran said: As expected from O... I mean, Pineapple. You say that the Wii Fit dropoffs are the result of the industry slowing down. I think that is partly the case, but I would also guess that Wii Fit is slowing down on its own. Back in the days of release, only the limited supply held the sales below 200k a week. I buy most of your predictions, but I still think that by the end of the year Wii Fit will sell at best on par with the PS3. (GAH! I just had a flashback from when I said exactly the same before the america release...) |
It may be showing some drops, I'm not sure. I haven't really been looking at the stats for a fair while, so I could be wrong.
If you look at it Month by Month.
I'll take Wii, Ps3, Wii Fit, as well as total software on the Wii.
Jan:
Total SW on Wii: 18952K
Wii: 2326K
Wii Fit: 1833K (That is, 9.6% of the software on Wii, and 78.8% compared to the Wii HW, and 77% more than the Ps3)
Ps3: 1034K
Feb:
Total SW on Wii: 10554K
Wii: 1464K
Wii Fit: 1275K (That is, 12.08% of the software on Wii, and 87% compared to the Wii HW, and 98% more than the Ps3)
Ps3: 644K
Mar:
Total SW on Wii: 9642K
Wii: 1184K
Wii Fit: 1074K (That is, 11.1% of the software on Wii, and 90.7% compared to the Wii HW, and 58% more than the Ps3)
Ps3: 678K
Apr:
Total SW on Wii: 10012K
Wii: 1220K
Wii Fit: 1161K (That is, 11.6% of the software on Wii, and 95.1% compared to the Wii HW, and 79% more than the Ps3)
Ps3: 648K
May: (Note: The others are 4.25 weeks each, whereas May is only 3 weeks)
Total SW on Wii: 4942K
Wii: 685K
Wii Fit: 599K (That is, 12.1% of the software on Wii, and 87.4% compared to the Wii HW, and 103% more than the Ps3)
Ps3: 294K
So in May, Wii Fit had a higher (although only slightly) share of the total software on Wii, and outsold the Ps3 by more than it had done before during the past 5 months. There are signifficant drops among all the 4 examples I used (I'm aware that's not really enough to draw a conclusion), and Wii Fit is actually dropping less than 2 of them.
Concluding: Wii Fit does not appear to drop more than the rest of the industry does.
Finally; Gilgamesh, I doubt ANYONE here thinks that Wii Fit's LT will > Ps3's LT. We're talking about WF being in front of the Ps3 even for a short while.
