Will the Wii have 50% market share by the end of 2009?

NA is up for week ending 22nd august and with 100 dollar price-cuts in effect yet the wii only sells 1.7K less than PS3 and 400 less than 360...I know the hd twins outsold the wii but by only 1.7k and 400 and thats much cause wii has nothing while ps3 and 360 got 100 dollar pricecuts...

True, the HDtwins, individually, barely outsold the Wii, which may mean that the Wii has a different customer base and Nintendo's sales will not be affected, but together they doubled the Wii's sales in America and if this continues the Wii will never achieve a %50 market share.

 

 

That depends on it continuing, however, and it won't. The week of a price cut or release is almost universally the strongest; from there, it only goes downhill. If this is the best that the HD twins can do at the peak of their saleability, then they pose no threat.

Price cut werent effective for many days from these HD "twins", the slim only released in the U.S for 3 days and limited availability (behind launch),

it could even hit 100k in japan alone, so Wii is definately not hitting 50% anytime soon, the 360 and PS3 both are selling well.
