Wii Weekly Sales - How Long Before You Consider Ninty In Trouble?!!

When the PS3 outsells it for 6 months straight in the US. Half a year of the 3rd place console leading over the current leader would be enough to say that the Wii has lost its power to draw in more gamers.

You might ask why I don't consider it in trouble now, so I will answer simply this - the Americas market has traditionally and continues to be the most viable and profitable market in the game industry. What happens here influences all of the western devs, and makes eastern devs wary of bringing a game overseas. With PS3 and XB360 both selling lower on a weekly basis than the Wii, I would say that Nintendo's position looks solid for a while yet.

What I will say is that if the PS3 dips below the 30K/week mark in the US at this stage, it will have lost more steam than the GameCube did last gen in the same timespan. I truly wonder if the PS3 will continue getting support if they can't get their numbers back up before the holiday season.

That was true when the dollar was strong.

That's not the case anymore.

Euro market is actually more profitable for foreign companies due to stronger Euro than Dollar...

The Dollar has lost 50% of its value in the last 6 years...
