However the Slim has just launched in Europe, so it will either hit a peak or drop steadily but at a slow rate. Now all of these steady drops will stay true till the Slim arcade launches which will boost sales. By how much, I do not know. The big kicker is Sept. with the launch of Halo Reach which will move a large number of systems. Predicting 5 million will be sold in the first month alone. Buuuuut, don't count out Sony and Nintendo just yet. I'm pretty sure they're not going to let MS go on a winning streak for long. Now for what cards they're going to play is another question entirely. |
The Wii has a 30 Million WW lead and this holiday season both MS and Sony are going to be pushing that Motion Controls are where its at, indirectly advertising the Wii as well and refocusing attention, after Wii interest seemed to be dropping a bit, on the Wii's unique selling point... I for one don't see the Wii as being out for the count.
Sony I think will struggle a bit more as in US and UK I think MS is going to simply outmarket them and push to have Kinect seen as a cool must get gadget for the holidays. But, the PS3 is actually holding fine where it was and GT5, etc. will give a boost so worst case I guess Sony will just have to hold to their current path and let the gap widen again, at least for a while.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
