| ElRhodeo said: You're picking some random events and numbers that seem to be backing your claim, yet they are completely unrelated. So the 360 outsold the Wii for some months in UK, so what? UK is just a fraction of the PAL market, and if you check the weekly European charts, the Wii is comfortably leading all the time. PS3 outsold Wii for some weeks in Japan, but that's over again, and seemed to be due to a Wii software draught. And don't forget that ALL consoles were/are doing pretty bad in Japan currently. 10000 PS3 units (current Japanese preview) are not quite reason to rejoice either. |
Im not just picking a few numbers, here check it out. Wii market share has fallen every year, the Wiis overall sales are down 20% YOY also. The idea of Wii invulnerability is starting to crack. Sure theres noone at this point who can argue successfully that it hasn't performed well. However the idea that the Wii is untouchable is something that cannot be reconciled with recent sales.
Tease.
