| revolutions said: 24 + 19 = 43m Wii 10 + 17.5 = 27.5m X360 12.5 + 8.5 = 21m PS3 43m vs 48.5m = damn close but the Wii will be under 50% marketshare. |
Thank you. Pure, simple math tells the story.
Sure, we could quibble over the specific stats, but it's fair to say those 2008 estimates are at least in the ballpark. Unless the 360 or PS3 collapse and sell 5 million less than expected, or Nintendo finds a way to ramp production from 1.8m per month to 2.5, without losing demand, it's almost impossible for Nintendo to pull off this year.
In 2009? Maybe,but the 360 and PS3 should then be well in the "mass market" price range, which means Nintendo will have to increase their numbers that much more.
