@Demotruk, What are you talking about a $299 PS3 didn't turn things around? The PS3 is up by quite a bit from last years numbers it went from selling 100K a week on average to 200K a week, in fact I think the PS3 is the only console up YOY. It turned things around big time, and that's not even the big price point. Usually 70% of a consoles sales happens when it's priced at $199 or less. |
Turnaround as in turning the gen around, outperforming the Wii, which your numbers would start to do if you think the Wii has peaked and is in permanent decline. The 70% thing is going by the PS2, not losing consoles. Losing consoles tend to drop off quite fast. I know things are different this gen, but that also means you can't judge PS3's future sales by PS2's sales pattern, it is in a completely different situation.

I gave two reasons of the Wii's decline not one. Nintendo may release a new HD version of the Wii, which would cause the Wii sales to have a sudden drop off.

While it might be true that Nintendo willl never ship 26 mil units of Wii a year again as you mentioned that "by the looks of it the Wii may have already peaked.", it also counters the arguement that consoles would peak after it reaches $199. If Wii can be an exception of the case, it is possible for PS3 to be the exception of the case as well.
