TheSource said: Wii and PS3 should have a smoother year - i.e. higher weekly lows and lower weekly highs. DS is the only machine that won't dip under 200k/week this year. That said I don't think Wii will spend many weeks under 200k and PS3 probably won't spend many weeks under 135k or so. All hardware is going to be down in 2010 though. In terms of certainty I'd go PS2/PSP for sure, DS/X360 probably, and Wii/PS3 very likely. |
yeah, that's just because PS3 and wii are riding momentum from the year before, rather than losing momentum early in the year. Lower prices will also help. Wii and PS3 will probably be up YOY for the most of the early year (except early supply constrained months for wii), but they will end up down when the weeks of the price cuts come. It'll basically be a lot like what happened to the 360 in 2009.
