January 2007 NPD Predictions

[TheSource]

I'm actually interested in the tie ratios almost as much as the actual hardware/software data. If Sony's tie ratio stays under two then I think Sony is going to have a 2007 like Nintendo's 1997. Wii tie ratio I expect to be approaching 3 games per system by January end(generally Zelda, Red Steel and either Trauma Center, Madden, or Raving Rabbits). By end of February, tie ratio should be in the 3.5 to 5 range (Zelda, Red Steel and some 3 other games from Sonic, SSX, Madden, Raving Rabbits, Trauma Center, Wii Play and Wario Ware) PS3 ratio seems to be around 1-1.5 (Resistance..and half the owners bought one more game) Should improve to around 2-3 in February. 360 will be interesting too. I want to see how Gears of War and Lost Planet effect things.
