Is it possible the Wii could have its worst full year ever... its only 800k above 2007 now!

YTD for Wii

2007 - 7,935,313  (plus extra 8,452,628 to end of year)

2008 - 11,384,682

2009 - 8,945,173  (plus extra 12,563,892 to end of year)

2010 - 8,727,181 

This week in 2007 the Wii sold 285k.... this week the Wii sold 155k...  

From 19th August to September 29th 2007 the Wii sold 1,419,710.  Can the Wii expect to get anywhere near that in the coming weeks?  i'd say around 1,000,000 is more likely, so 2010 will then be very close to 2007.

Is it possible and have sales fallen off a cliff?    Or will the holiday numbers save its bacon?

Talk about it.

All you need to do is look at 2009 to see how the rest of year will play out.

you think it will sell 12.5m more this year... nah...its a different world... i can feel it.

While it may not hit 12.5, it will be far above 2007's 9m.

I'd expect about 11-12m for rest of year.

Wii is having a typical sales curve and is slowly trailing off now that it has peaked.

360s curve is the same and it too has been slowly trailing off each year and this year won't be any exception as it will sell about the same as last year if not a little less.

PS3 is the only one who has a good chance of having one last year of YOY increases and this is due to its higher starting point in prices which took longer for it to take off.

Really nothing surprising and not threads like this are trying to insinuate.

You don't have anything to back up your prediction other than past trends. This year is different though.

360 and PS3 pose more of a threat this year than last, your line about 360 selling less. Incorrect. So far this year it's had it's highest sales ever, it's going to be it's peak year selling more than 11 million.
