DS never ceases to amaze me. This thing could sell 200 million when it's all said and done, maybe more. I'm curious to see how it sells once 3DS is released.
360 recieved quite a boost from Halo: Reach, pretty much expected. Will recieve another from Kinect. But it'll be interesting to see where it stablises when the dust settles.
PS3 barely inched ahead of Wii despite Move launch and Wii having nothing compelling. I think it's safe to say Sony simply needs more hit games if they want to do well in sales, not hardware addons and the 28th PS3 console skew/bundle.
Wii, meh what can you say? Pretty mediocre sales, but then again it currently has mediocre releases for the past 9 months. I don't really count Metroid Other M, since I knew from day one the game would not more hardware.
Nintendo just has to weather another month or so of these types of sales until Kirby is released, which should fire up sales at least a little bit. But it won't recieve a MAJOR hardware boost until the holiday season kicks in and DKC is released. The console has the potential to reach its 2009 sales with the strong lineup this holiday.
Oh and as for Halo Reach... hot damn! It will be interesting to see how its legs are. It looks like a sweet game. I want to get either this or Black Ops, but I can't decide which.

Do you honestly believe that? There's no NSMBWii/Price cut this year and not even Nintendo believes that's possible.

There was no NSMB but there is DKC, Kirby, Wii Party, Goldeneye, and Epic Mickey, and the continued effect of NSMB to potentially pick up the extra slack. NSMB was huge, but it was practically the only major title. This year, there are several major titles. I may be mistaken, but I thought Wii was already tracking close to 2009 numbers during this point last year, and is actually up YoY in Japan? Doesn't seem like to much of a stretch to me.

It was tracking similarly to last years numbers but it's been losing quite a lot as of late. Plus holidays will be impossible to match. The only big games there are DKCR and Wii Party. The rest will be million sellers for sure but won't move much HW at all. I still think that Nintendo's predictions are close to what's going to happen, but I could see it go even lower. (Talking FY here, but still the holidays will increase the YoY by a huge chunk)

Hrm, yeah I checked the YoY differences Rhonin posted and noticed the Wii is down 580,000. Probably too much to make up for. I revised my post to say "it has the potential to reach its 2009 sales or be CLOSE to it" right after I posted it but you were too quick with your reply that you caught my original statement :P. But regardless the YoY drop I believe will end up very small that it'll be almost irrelivent. It will just be a matter of how much 3 months of releases can pick up the slack for the drought the first 9 months of 2010.
