Rather than try to pick and parse the numbers in a way that looks beneficial to one side or another, why not present them all:
| March 07 | LastGen | NextGen | Handheld | Total Share |
| Nintendo | 8% | 44% | 78% | 54% |
| Sony | 92% | 22% | 22% | 34% |
| Microsoft | 0% | 34% | 0% | 12% |
Forgot each segments share, LastGen was 18% of console sales, NextGen 34%, and Handhelds 48%.
Looking at that the most notable thing is that Sony has only 22% share in the two growing and largest segments of the video game world, NextGen and Handheld. PS2 sales are undoutedly important for now since they are boosting Sony's profits to some extent. I can't imagine they will be able to rely on it for too much longer though.
However, why just look at March? We have the numbers for all of the 1st quarter
| Q1 07 | LastGen | NextGen | Handheld | Total Share |
| Nintendo | 8% | 47% | 76% | 52% |
| Sony | 92% | 22% | 24% | 35% |
| Microsoft | 0% | 31% | 0% | 13% |
Not too different. The key stats again are Sony's inability to even take 1/4 of either of the main video game markets.
The other thing to note is that the Wii sold an incredibly low 52k per week in the US in March. Given that its sold out everywhere that means Nintendo only shipped 52k a week. Why they did that is anyones guess (met their quota, waiting for an April SPM blitz, counterring PS3 launch in Europe). Had Nintendo supplied the US with 100k a week like they should be doing then the Wii would have had no trouble hitting half a million for the month. That would have given Nintendo 66 total share, 60% NextGen sale, and 46% home console share.
Not that it changes March's sales of course but it gives a better idea of where market demand is going than lumping an 8 year old system who got a one month sales boost from a huge game with its moribund nextgen brother while ignoring Nintendo very clearly for unclear reasons under supplying America with Wiis during March.
