Ive just noticed that the Wii is in danger of falling below its 2007 sales year to date... meaning thsi year will be its worst year since launch.

It's now about 400k above 2007 on a comparable YTD, 3.5m down on 2008 and 300k down on 2009.

 

What did it do from now to end of year same time in 07? (not at my computer so can't check)

2007 - 7.2m

2008 - 10.8m

2009 - 11.7m

 

So it will likely beat 2007 in the end...

or will it... it is now tracking lower on a weekly basis than 2007.

This week in 2007 - 211,179... It wont get anywhere near that this week.

 

Interesting.

I wonder if Nintendo will drop the price 2 years in a row, something Sony and Microsoft havn't even done themselves.

Yeah they just do it 3 years in a row or more than once in a year

Discontinuation of Xbox 360 (60 GB) (Price Cut to $249.99 for remaining stock)

Price Cut on Xbox 360 Elite - $299.99

When I find the history of the PS3's price cuts I'll add those but I believe it was last year it had 2 in a year or maybe 08, flat out that claim ain't true.

Different skus and discontinuations are bound to see different prices, however you have a point given the elite cutting price, didn't realise it ever cost that much, wow.

I still wonder if it's something Nintendo will do, at least Microsoft and Sony don't make ridiculous claims about how price cuts hurt the industry.
