Isn't it hard to compare the first six months of 2007 and 2008 since the PS3 was not for sale in Europe until March 2007?
Nevertheless, using those numbers, 360 is up 54%, Wii up 55%, and PS3 up 98%.
Thus, the 360 has gone from a near-tie for second to 1.3 million units behind in third (and it is closer to 5-1/2 million units behind the Wii as opposed to 2-1/2 million units).
It is that last fact (and the additional fact) that have it being perceived as losing momentum.

PS -- Based upon current growth rates, the PS3 and Wii will be in a near dead heat in the first half of 2010. Of course, if you are selling 20M units in the first half of the year, it does not matter if you are first or second.
 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
