How much has PS2 in Americas'? I see wii finishing over 47M and 360 over 45M. |
PS2 is a shade over 46 million, and won't reach 47 mill in its lifetime. Probably 46.5.
Wii is at 36.28M in U.S atm, and has dropped YoY every year since 2009.
2008 - 10.16M
2009 - 9.58M
2010 - 7.07M
2011 - 2.13M
I imagin the next 4 months will go something like this Sep 200k, Oct 200k, Nov 900k, Dec 1.5 - 1.8M
So around 4.9 - 5.2M for 2011 total. 1.9/2.2M drop yoy, which is less than the 2.5M drop it sufferd from 2010, despite it being more down YoY this year so far (830k) than 2010 over 2009 in the same period (600k). So it could be a lot worse than we imagin.
Anyway that would put end of year Wii figures at 39.1M - 39.4M. Who knows what it'll do in 2012 even with a price cut to $99 early on. The Wii will be even more irrelevent, it'll have zero to little SW, and its successor coming out imminently. It is possible it'll fall just short of PS2 LTD, selling 3.2 mill in 2012, then 1.8 mill in 2013, and then 800k for remainder of its life. Putting it at at just above 45 mill. Then again it could do better than we expect and surpass 46.5 mill. It wont hit 50 mill though.
360 needs to have a steller holiday, and not drop horribly Yoy next year to catch up to either. It hasn't even dropped yoy at all in the U.S since its release in 2005 though, this will be the 6th time its been up YoY in the U.S, so there is no evidence to suggest it's going to drop off hard/flatline.
