The Wii is being outsold in every territory, that's just new for a console leader.

This generation does not follow normal convention, like I've been saying for a couple of years. What could never happen according to the majority of the site is now happening. You could dig up dozens and dozens of threads about how sales never drop this fast. Still, its not over yet, with a price cut and some decent software things could look up but don't expect anything mindblowing till fall/winter, the Wii always has a strong fourth quarter.

I still stand by my statement though; last holiday season was the last one with the Wii on top for home consoles.

There were some adjustments last week, looks like it's not a statistical tie anymore. Oh and Nintendogamer Wii won't hit 85M this week but will do it next week since it'll be like 10k away ;0

oh so what's the result? 360>ps3>wii?

i find it pretty weird ps3 dropped down from its 70-80k in NA after week ending 1/29 despite

both BB and Kmart $50 deals

http://www.examiner.com/video-game-news-in-atlanta/retail-game-deals-round-up-jan-30-50-gift-card-w-ps3

and even Amazon matching it

http://juegodeals.com/2011/01/31/amazon-price-matches-ps3-160gb-with-50-bonus-credit-free-shipping/

and im pretty sure the deals were and still are being held even after week ending the 5th

Down down, deeper and down...

Anyway. Those are some great 360 numbers. When over 50% of your total Worldwide sales come from one country alone...

Can you imagine if it doesn't make 100 million? It seems impossible, but this drop is kinda scary.
