very selective stat you chose there....

YOY YTD 2009 v 2008

market share

Wii down 5.62%
PS3 down 2.5%
360 up 8.12%

but no... I dont see any major turnarounds as it happens.


What's wrong with you? Those numbers are anything but real. Wii never had 54,3% (48,7%+5,62%) of markest share... Please don't post BS.


lol, those are year on year numbers not lifetime numbers.  haha, they are perfectly legit.


Helllooooo? We are talking about market share here.


hmmm, so you can't gauge marketshare on a yearly basis?  thats odd.... could of sworn that was possible...

basically, wii sold X amount last year (X being the total number sold or marketshare for that year), but when you compare X to this years totals it is down 5.62%.  This means that there is a decline in the marketshare the wii enjoyed in last years sales by 5.62%.  Make sense?

A - Then why don't you replace you ''X amount'' by real numbers then?

B - This doesnt change the fact that Wii is gaining market share while X360 is losing market share (except for the big adjustment of last week)since the begining of the gen.

A - I think what Kowenicki was demonstrating was the sales trend for this year.  He has a thread somewhere that he has all the different numbers and everything you are looking for.

B - While I agree that wii is has more marketshare and continues to grow that difference, what Kowenicki is demonstrating here is that recent sales are showing that momentum eroding on the wii and increasing on the 360.  The numbers are there.  The only reason I started posting here was to get you to see what the numbers meant.  So, hopefully mission accomplished.

A- Why doesnt he just put real numbers instead of ''X amount'' BS then?

B- Yeah sure, ALL three consoles are slowing down their sales. The numbers are there. The Wii still continue to sell on par with the PS360 combined sales which means its market share is still growing. But like I said before, the more we are advanced in a gen, the harder it is to gain market share so it's normal that Wii's market share doesnt grow as quickly as in the past years. 

I did the X amount because I'm too lazy to look up kowenicki's thread that has all the numbers.  If you are concerned about them then you could look them up yourself or just use vgchartz sales data.

Yes, the wii marketshare is growing, just not as well as it was last year, while the xbox is selling better this year when compared to last years numbers, which is the point of what he was saying.
