DS here have Sales > Shipped :=D.

Yeah numbers are down. But sales are relatively meh until later this year when clear images of WiiU and especially next year with first real info about PS4/neXtBox appear.

Handheld wars are already over, so they are boring.

Personally, I'm more interested in seeing my predictions of the impact Google/Apple will make in the next-gen beginning in 2013.

Wii Sports again in the top 10 ??? Or this is really one of the worst weeks for videogames sales in history or this game was so revolutionary that it amazing to see it stills selling years after its launch

I believe it was outselling the figures last year early in the year even! And with the WiiU and other stuff coming out, it'll have a weaker holiday, so less sales, and no price cut or redesign can help that. The gen is over. Is it saturated. We need a new generation, and that's a fact.

Just so I'm clear here, this is what you're saying.

FACT: First half of 2012 No price cut or redesign. YoY: -12%
PREDICTION: Second Half of 2012 redesign and possible price cut. YoY: -26%

Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Even so, 11-12m seems too low imo. Because I don't think 11m is even remotely realistic. I honestly think 12m should he the lowest realistic prediction.

Yes, Jay. But you look at the sales tracking tools and you can see that it's far, far more down that 12%.

Unfortunately they don't work on my phone so I guess ill have to take your word for it. How far is it down for the first half of 2012?

Just as more evidence on how shitty this year has been. Of the twenty best selling games for the year, only five were actually released this year. That's got to be a new low record.

Jan down 7.8% Feb down 13.75% Mar down 2.5% Apr down 11% May down 14% June down 20% July will be down 20% plus Thats if the numbers are correct, I suspect slight overtracking so it could be worse.

I guess we'll have to see strongly the Slim counters the steady drop.

It will certainly change befote the end of the year.

Perhaps, but I don't remember it ever being as bad as this. There's just one PC game, one Wii game, one DS game, two X360's games, and ironically, zero PS3 games. Im pretty sure past years were much better than this. The only decent selling HD games were Mass Effect 3 & Ghost Recon. (Interesteding to note that both werent even intended to release this year). I'm pretty sure the HD consoles never had a first half so barren.
