This was just posted on GAF. Let your math skills flow freely as you try and decipher what the exact numbers are like :)

Should be clarified that these represent first dec > jan drop.

Thanks for that. I'm jiggling both GAF and VGC at the same time. Etho usually does this, i'm not as fast :D

Maybe the mods should unban him once a month on parrol so he can feed the NPD thread?

We'll have to wait for creamsugar to show up on Gaf. 

Who is creamsugar?  Some insider with the inside scoop?

A poster on Gaf with access to NPD numbers. He's always the one leaking them out. 

Hmmm.  Is there anyway to verify that his numbers are correct?

Should i note that 25% was because a normalization, cause last year january was 5 weeks. Nintendo did direct conversion, so we have 16%.

Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Comparing January 2007 to this January....there's a huge decline in hardware sales, even if we were to estimate one week less for 2007. No one came close to the demand for Wii, and PS4 barely edged close to PS3's first January (low supply I guess, but Wii was also in that state (likely in much higher demand too) and it sold much more), and XB1 was well below 360. Wii U is......Wii U....I don't think I wanna know the state of the Vita....

#dooomed?!?!?!

There is a huge decline, but I wouldn't say the industry is doomed (handheld maybe) but more that MS and Nintendo haven't been able to provide gamers with what they want.

Also regarding the Wii it should be noted that it had freakishly large sales in its first couple years but then dropped way earlier than the 360 or PS3, so a console doesn't need to outsell the Wii now to have a chance at beating its lifetime numbers.
