Their earlier PR was probably it.

Worst Dec NPD ever I think ... in terms of excitement and figures. After such a big November as well.


The economy for buying entertainment items is also the worst it has been in the world since... since before electronic gaming existed.  You may be right, time for new consoles... but I would hold off... you don't exactly want to start off a new console in a crap world economy either.   And it might be deflating the actual demand if people had the disposable income.  But yeah, can't believe November was better.



BOOM!  FACE KICK!

So Wii is at most 860k and PS3 is at most 900k. Wow...

860k is last month... this month is more like a little over 1m for Wii.


But the report said that DS and 3DS were the only consoles to see MoM growth. That puts the Wii at 860k or less.

It conflicts M$ 46%

Europe's economy is way worse than the States, so really, its the two major territories for gaming.  People can talk about the Yen being a problem, but for consumers it's great.  It means their money buys more stuff for less.  But from what I heard, people were more apt to buy one big thing and a few little things this year, as in, maybe a 360 for one kid, and an ipod for another, etc... instead of everyone getting a game console or a TV etc.  Cost of living around the world continues to rise, yet wages fall.

I don't know about that. Don't judge the whole of Europe by looking at a few small gaming markets (greece for example)

I do know.  Keep in mind USA's bad unemployment now is merely the average of a good Euro economy.  And when every country jumps on board the same currency system and money comes from the good country's banks to support the bad ones... everyone suffers.

why people think it's undertraked in Europe but not MEA,i mean China have 620k 360 when end of 2008

China, or Hong Kong? I don't remember them launching in the rest of china.

 

Also, I asked this in another thread but never got an answer, wasn't MS supposed to launch xbox in more regions this year?

Europe doesn't only have the Euro, you know


Just most of the largest countries that matter in a global economy do.  So it doesn't matter.

This has got a bit off topic.
