2007 is the best year to Nintendo in more than 15 years

Well, a 16 month 360 figure doesn't have much relevance to it's current LTD. We have GfK figures for October which is more up to date. Nintendo don't say if they are sold to consumer, or sold to retailers, or if they are sold to consumer are they GfK or Nintendo's own internal numbers? I'll cautiously treat it as shipped until we get November + December GfK figures (which I think we might see soon if we're lucky).

GfK:

October:

PS3 - 37,000
Wii - 28,000
360 - 12,000

LTD:

Wii - 389,000
360 - 328,000
PS3 - 172,000

"Overall Nintendo has in 2007 a marketshare of 70% (by units)."

I assume he is talking about software here as it's in a paragraph about software sales. As he knows what Nintendo's marketshare is, then it's possible these are based on GfK numbers, but we will see.

These are probably shipped figures
