Same here almost. But what's exciting about the numbers this time of year anyway?

Loads of interesting stuff; the old status quo of Wii>>>>PS3>360 has been turned on its head since the 360 Slim. I find it interesting to see whether it will last from week to week, and if not for how precisely long it does - whether PS3 can overtake Wii before the holidays, whether 360 can maintain 1st, if/when the Wii reclaims its throne. I also like analysing the YoY trends. And of course the usual software figures, and pre-order charts (and particularly the pre-order comparison charts that users post).
If you find the numbers boring now, then I dread to think what you thought of them a few months back!

Interesting. I haven't even reflected on the Wii slump. Is it really that bad? Shouldn't be a prolonged thing though? I mean "Sony overtake the Wii before the holidays" u mean even for just one week right?
I just tend to check out the gap, "oh, it's still only 5.3 million"  and then move on to the software charts, but software releases have been sparse for a long while.

It's already done it one week recently. I mean potentially on a regular weekly basis.
Whether or not Wii's slump is prolonged is another reason I like following the hardware sales at the moment, because there's an expectation that Wii will reclaim the top spot by quite some margin come the holidays and it'll be interesting to see if that turns out to be the case.
It's the unusual nature of the sales of late, and the unrpedictability of the future, which is what makes it interesting, to me at least.
P.S. on an unrelated note - why do you still expect the PS3 to overtake the 360 in overall sales?

Wow it would be really exciting if the Wii would keep struggling. 
PS3 will overtake the X360 because it's selling 1-3 million more units per year and there's at least two years left of the generation, and as soon as Microsoft announces the Xbox 3 the sales of the X360 will decrease and so the PS3 will be able to gain a lead.
