Well, lets just look at the numbers: Consoles Sold Nintendo Wii: 12 million What we know is that before Nintendo increased production they were shipping (approximately) 1 Million units a month, they are currently shipping more than a Million units every month now while still selling out, and Q4 represents roughly 40% to 50% of console sales in a given year. If Nintendo doesn't increase supply and hasn't been saving up units for the holiday season they will still break 12 Million units in the full year 2007; with a production increase and a steady supply through the holiday season they could potentially hit the 20 Million unit mark. On the other hand the PS3 is selling at a rate of (roughly) 250,000 units per month worldwide and has had a constant decline in sales; this works out to be 3 Million units in a year without factoring in holiday sales and (probably) about 5 Million if you're optimistic with your holiday numbers. The XBox 360 is selling at a rate of (approximately) 350,000 to 400,000 units per month worldwide. This works out to yearly sales of about 5 to 6 Million units per month without factioring in holiday sales and 7 to 8 Million if you're optimistic about holiday sales. |
Much better analysis with more thought in it. Thanks.
