The thing is, during Q2, the Xbox 360 is getting near 75 games released to the Wii's ~25 and it is somehow below in WW sales. Of course, the Wii has Japan for its benefit, but the 360 is getting more games there too haha.

Kinect advertising is wearing out because there are no new games that utilize the peripheral. For the past 6 months, the only thing getting it off shelves has probably been Dance Central and the Kinect Sports it was bundled with. Nothing even remotely appealing that supports Kinect has dropped since.

Wii Fit Plus> Kinect

The Kinect games argument doesn't completely hold.  Just this week the Wii Balance Board surpassed Kinect in WW sales.  We all know that Wii Balance Board doesn't exactly have many games for it.  Kinect has plenty of fitness games to compete with Wii Balance Board, so what gives?  Wii Fit has never had the kind of sales slow-down that Kinect is experiencing.

The real problem with Kinect is that it is too expensive.  The early adopters ate it up, but not everyone was convinced by this product.   The skeptical hardcore gamers along with true casuals are  still balking at the price.  Most of the people adopting Kinect are buying it from bundles right now.  If M$ could lower the price-point of Kinect along with increasing the quantity and quality of games being released they would probably have much higher sales figures.   Until Kinect is priced at a lower impulse buy price (probably $100 and below), I don't see it replicating the sales figures of 2010. 

Because they're not in the same generation?

Let's wait financial reports for this quarter before saying that the gen is dying. If financial reports confirm the trend for each console then yes they have to do something, eventhough each console is over 100k so I don't see the problem.

It's just that 2010 was a very good year. We can't have a year better than the last one forever, otherwise there would be no end to a generation.

I think we are looking at the first 10M 3rd party seller on Wii! now that's quite funny yet brilliant.

These charts were more fun when PS3 was behind. Wondering if PS3 can claw its way back to the top is more fun than seeing it at the top, and wondering if it can stay there. Good for PS3 to clear 150K, but I imagine it'll drop to below 150K, and even reach 100K before either prices drop or the holiday lift arrives.

Just for the hell of it.
