| yushire said: Its abit far fetched doesnt mean it will not be impossible. As of now, in 2009 alone the console sales on NPD significantly drops by 50 percent. I think there are core gaming implosion will happen if not a video game crash. Thoughts? |
might want to check your sources...
Based on latest NPD so far this year for US we have.
Wii : 35 million units software sold at end of September( same as last year)
Xbox360 : 31 million units of software ( +4 millions compared to last year at same date)
PS3 : 18 million units of software ( +3 millions units)
For hardware :
Wii : down 1.15 million units
Xbox360 : up 260k
PS3 : down 180k units...
HD gaming market so far in 2009 has been about the same than in 2008 in terms of revenue in US( more software but consoles are lower price pt so revenue about the same, average price of software sold is probably down too as the generation gets older you see more discounted titles..).
The only segment that is not performing as well and dragging the numbers down is the Wii...
With a decent holydays both HD console are actually likely to show revenue increase over the year in the US..
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
