I would go and show you te work myself but there's no real point.

Substitute the wii with another gamecube, and revenue would still be up YOY.

Shown=/=What is.

The truth is theprof, your wrong. The market was expanding becuase of Nintendo. Like you mentioned, sales were up in 2007 over 2006, because the Wii was out in 2007 and sales were great. In fact, the decline in 2009 is due to the Wii falling over all else. You can see how importaint the Wii was to the market's overall health.

And once again, I'm posting this.

 

Again someone tries to bring up Nintendo as an inseperable entity. We are simply talking about the Wii. Secondly I have personally not seen any such decline in 2009. Remember that we have several of the biggest games coming out before the year is over. We have seen price cuts across the board as well. In addition, if wii never existed, the 2009 "drop" would never have happened because the wii wouldn't have caused 2008 to be so high.

I am interested in seeing proof of a decline by the end of this year.
