2010 - 8,418,074

Down just 75,901 from last year.  Yep, doomed I tell ya.

Do you guys even look at the facts at all or just spout the latest hooey being passed around like a bad cold?

Down just 75,901 from last year.

And it only took a pricecut and several AAA games being released inbetween then and now to make the difference so small.

Really? The price cut was last year... Price cuts do little to move hardware, particularly Nintendo hardware. SOFTWARE drives consoles. Think.. Why do people buy consoles? For the GAMES. Notice how even after the pricecut, Wii hardware barely rose. It didn't REALLY take off again until NSMB Wii was released.

The several AAA games you are talking about, Galaxy 2, Sin and Punishment 2, Red Steel 2, Monster Hunter Tri, these may be good games, but they are simply NOT console movers. It's downright foolish to think they are. I don't know how many times I have to say this.. Going into 2010, I knew those titles wouldn't move consoles, and sure enough, they didn't. It's pretty obvious.
