Heres the NPD from October 2008, if either the Wii outsell their monthly sales last year or if PS3 maintain its momentum then the pricecut really works after all. But really I doubt it:
* Wii - 803,000
* Nintendo DS - 491,000
* Xbox 360 - 371,000
* PlayStation 3 - 190,000
* PSP - 193,000
* PlayStation 2 - 136,000
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out
