These are just some ungodly sales.. 3 million between that of Wii and DS this week. Wii just having some amazing sales but it's not hard to understand why. Big software driving hardware (NSMB Wii, Wii Fit Plus, Wii Sports Resort, Mario and Sonic, etc), $200 pricepoint which seems to be a sweet spot for the Wii (very good for advertising btw), and for the first time ample supply of Wiis in the holidays. DS is of course still building up from the huge week of Black Friday, but I'd expect some pretty big increases from last week to this week so be prepared. PS3 sales staying strong along with 360. PSP hanging in there but it's not going to be a very happy Christmas for it.

What we are looking at for this week (Dec 13-Dec 19) is really some groundbreaking things. We could see both DS and Wii over 2 million for the week. Wii probably in the 2.0-2.3 million range and DS in the 2.2-2.5 million range as long as they haven't stabilized from previous big increases which is possible for Wii in America thanks to the Wal-Mart deal but I think it is still goign on so shouldn't affect it too much. We could potentially see PS3 over a million in its final week. We are going to see about 750k-800k between that of Americas and E/O and depending on how big FF13 is in Japan it might be in the 1.0-1.1 million range which would be incredible for a console that isn't dominant brand.

The final thing we are looking at is a more competitive market at the expense of the PSP. It really does seem this holiday season that everything is expanding all at the expense of the faltering and failing of the PSP. It's not like it has opened up room for bigger sales on other platforms but while everyone else is having record sales or comparative sales to 2008 this is the only system that is having issues staying relevant.

But great sales this week tied in with some impressive software. Next week's sales data for this week though is the big one so prepare for a great week.

Wii advertisements over the course of the month have been INCESSANT. Non-stop commercials have been running, all advertising things Wii-related. Now that the Wii has strong software to complement the ample hardware, sales are there for the taking.
