After starting the year 2009 to slow sales of games consoles have rebounded well in the second half of the year, mainly on the final weeks. According to figures that LSA was procured from game publishers (brief summary of the GfK research), it would be sold in France in 2009 to just less than home consoles (2.7 million) in 2008 (2 85 million). A manufacturer is the positive result of lower prices of machinery which has allowed the market to rebound. Sony, which dropped the price of the PS3 is 100 euros, and the winner of 2009. With some 900 000 Playstation 3 sold over the year, the manufacturer almost competes with Nintendo and its 1.2 million Wii elapsed. And with the expected release of blockbusters in 2010 (Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Final Fantasy XIII ...), the future is bright for the Japanese console. For the Xbox 360 from Microsoft, the year was also positive even if the lower prices of its rival HD has done more harm than expected year-end. For Nintendo, however, the year is rather negative in terms of sales volume. Two big caveats, however: the level of sales and Park Nintendo remain at high levels and also the publisher Nintendo still places four games in the top 5 annual sales of soft drinks. For Japanese, rumors increasingly insistent upcoming release of a Wii HD arise. Rumors regularly denied by those concerned.
