*THE MAIN POINT of THIS THREAD - is to SEE how far/close will Wii be in 2010 compared to Wii with consoles sold in 2008 and 2009.

Cough
Okay now that's out of the way
This is being done in the spirit of Trestres's Wii comparison thread, which was done in the tradition of the Great Crazzyman Thread of '08. As you guys may remember, Wii's 2009 was pretty weak compared to 2008, in terms of sales, though a very strong (explosive) Q4 ended up bringing it within spitting range. People have theorized that 2009 is the beginning of the Wii's downward spiral. I don't know if that's true. I'm curious about it, though, and how certain games from Q4 of last year will help sustain the system in Q1 of this year. So I'll try to keep this going all eyar - and as a bonus I'll compare it to 2008's numbers, too! Aren't you all lucky.
Wii 2010 numbers for the week ending January 9th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 480,242 | 480,242 |
This is a good start for the Wii! Let's see how it continues to do! But first, we must see how it does versus the first weeks of the last two years!
Wii 2009 numbers for the week ending January 10th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 383,301 | 383,301 |
Wii is UP 96,941 (25.29%) over the same time in 2009. =)))))))
Wii 2008 numbers for the week ending January 05th:
| Weekly | Total |
| 402,492 | 402,492 |
Wii is UP 77,750 (19.32%) over the same time in 2008. =)))))))
My time periods are going to be slightly off from those used by trestres - my year starts with the first week where the majority of the days fell in January, which I think is the VGChartz standard. Yes, this means that some weeks will have advantages over others, but it will even out over time.
Wii is off to a good start! =)))))) Let's see it beat those other punk-ass years like the backward chumps they are!
