the wii is down YoY so far overall actually.  I'm guessing you mean YoY for the week?  I wouldn't put too much faith in that number just yet simply because the wii has been supply contrainst in the early part of the year and just starting to meet stock levels lately.  it will be best to make such a comparision once stock isssues are non-existant.

And anyways, the wii just got a price cut.  it would be quite sad indeed if it wasn't up YoY now wouldn't it?  The ps3 is up something like 25% or so due to its price cut and the wii is still down.  Again, hold off judgements until after stock issues are completely gone.  However, I still maintain that looking at current performance and knowing how huge the shoulder is from the price cut last year the wii will end the year down YoY.

Not to be "that guy" but there was supply issues for basically all of 2008, and it was starting to meet demand by the end of Q1 2009, around this time in fact iirc, so it's similar situations and could easily be compared to one another I'd say.
