Something I've already noticed, Sales don't start picking up until the last week of October, unless there is a big game, price cut, ect. If a console rolls into the xmas Q with nothing big happening, it takes until the last week of October to boost. As seen by 2008 for PS3 and 2009 for Xbox 360.

Wii in 2008 was still sought after, going by the fluctuations in September, in 2009 the September price cut automatically rose sales. 360 2008 had it's price cut in September also, and PS3 had slim and price cut in September as well.

So unless Wii does get a price cut or something else, don't expect it's sales to start lifting until the last week of October.

would be interesting if it ever drops below 100k, although unlikely, that would be huge.. as it's lowest sales so far have been the sales of this week of 135K, any lower and it continues to set record lows..

and people say this is like any other year for the wii, well based on sales trends it's not.. and not only that but the wii is $199.. not $249 like it was this time last year.

I think 100k is a bit of a stretch, if I'm right and it doesn't start rising by last week of October, it has 5 weeks to drop to that level. Possible it could go below 115k.

Based on your charts, numbers in October are higher than numbers in September even with no price cut, redesign or big game releases. (360 in 2008 and 2009, PS3 in 2008, Wii in 2008) Why do you think Wii's October would be worse than September this year?



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
