Rath said: Which means that they will need to keep sales at exactly the same level they have been at already constantly for 5 years....no way!!! Thats generally what the leading console for a generation does, Id post a graph comparing snes ps2 and ps1 (the last three leading consoles) but the graph thing doesnt seem to be working. Anyway the leading console generally seems to have a spike at launch then have a flat line of weekly sales interrupted by more spikes as events such as game releases and price cuts occur and only falter at the coming of the next gen. |
Here is a graph:

The wii beats both ps and ps2 by far. The really surprising one, is it beats the DS too! (wii, ds, and ps2).

(The graphs are Japan+America. America only still have wii on top, but closer).
