Well Ive been asked several times what I thought about the sale since Ive been gone(for a month). Well I shall start by saying this: Wii.
Anyhow heres what I thought about the sales of the current generation of video game consoles thus far:
PS3: I am quite impressed, I was expecting the PS3 sales to actually drop of my prediction(look at sig). Though it stayed far above my expectations, as I was expecting for it to have hit 10 million on march 10th, and it hit that number by early mid febraury. Also I was quite suprised with the PS3 in North America, the console sold much more than expected(by me) as it briefly outsold the Xbox 360 in february(according to vgchartz) and in january(according to NPD). So far my expectation is that the playstation 3 will stay above 150,000 World wide for the entire month of march due to recent events.
Xbox 360: The rival of the playstation 3 has done a great job selling in North america. Though I wont say much but that I dont believe microsoft ever had shortages. I believe that they said this as in excuse for low sales. The Xbox 360 is doing as I expected, and I expect the console to continue selling signficantly lower than the Playstation 3 in both OTHERS and JAPAN for the remainder of the year.
WII: The wii is what people call a gimick. Hey wait.. wasnt the internet a gimmick? Anyhow lets not get off topic. Wii is leading console sales for this GEN by records. Its sold much higher than my expectations, and if this trend continues the system may hit higher than my expectations for this year, also the past month its sold over 200,000 units weekly which I must say is impressive. I dont expect the wii to stay like this the whole year, but I do expect it to continue selling much better than both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 for 70-80% of the year. Good job nintendo, you deserve what you are getting.
Anyhow, thats my analysis so far for this year's console sales thus far, and I hope I get my money back.
=D
