Debut week for Black Wii and it doesn't seem to be the hardware mover people claimed it would be.

SMG2 should push it up a bit, around 90K.

I saw stacks of them at my local Best Buy, Walmart, etc.  They weren't exactly moving out the door while I was shopping there.

Lol, I guess the 360 isn't going to be below 80k like someone wondered

Serious question, though. Why is the PSP selling well still in Japan and Others but absolutely dead in Americas?

Well Japan is no surprise.  Handhelds are dominating there and the PSP is getting great Japanese software support.  Others seems to be following Japan somewhat in embracing handhelds.  The PSP might be feeding off the DS's success in getting people into the handheld market.

Someone do a YOY comparison before more people say "Poor sales"

Concerning hardware, both PS3 and X360 are up, Wii down.
Wii and X360 flat software wise, PS3 up close to 100%.

Is it normal for everything to be so weak around this time of year?
Cos out of context, it seems interest in all current gen consoles is waning alarmingly.

(And just how low will PSP drop in the US? The thing's a zombie already)

Yeah, pretty much.

Everything is down YoY except PS3 against a bad period in 2009, that's not normality. Even PS3 is only up 10K, an ever lower figure and percentage comparison than what it has been doing.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Ok so it isn't bad for PS360, good in fact.

It is a poor for Wii though, but not "that" bad either.

And DS...well its about time the beast started to decrease in sales.

PSP no comment

Overall HD market is UP by a lot YOY

Wii continues disappoint me...Black version increased sales in UK by 70% when it was launched, no US love for it? I would run out and buy one if I didn't have already a white Wii. I'm even more sure Wii will be down this year, but the 18m projected by Nintendo are possible...a lot depends on Japan though.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
