Not meaning to protect the Wii or anything...but aren't some people calling doom after 1 week a bit... premature? We saw what happened last year. And the Wii is in its 5th year. When you've sold over 85 million units in little over 4 years, you expect there to be some slowdown, especially when your competitors are riding the back of new games and add-on releases


Slowdowns are quite normal, even for market leaders. Having your sales almost halved in one year is not normal.

But, it hasn't almost "halved" now has it?

Or has it? I thought it was more like "28% down"...

Last week it was 42% down yoy and still on it's way down. Pretty close to almost halved if you asked me. The yoy drop grows and has grown weekly and there's nothing on the horizon to turn the trend any time soon. The overall drop yoy for 2011 might be around 28% but that number is growing fast and will eventually reach the same levels as last week in the overall numbers (most likely, there's no such thing as a sure thing).
