Just to illustrate what a holiday season can do to Wii's market share:

Market share as of 2nd of November 2007: 42.2%
Market share as of 4th of January 2008: 43.8%

That's a 1.6% gain right there.


If it wasn't supply constrained, it would have gained even more...

It might not be until Nintendo drops the price to $199, and it might not be this year, but the wii will go over 50%...



By end year wii will be over 55%.



So I take it that the general stipulation of those saying that the Wii will never hit 50% market share is that the gaming market will never exceed its best of 33% household penetration in any given territory? And that we will be stuck in a static and stagnating industry which will slowly die as only "hardcore" gamers continue to play video games? I certainly hope, for your sakes (as well as the sake of the entire video game industry), that you're very, very wrong.



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

I don't know why, but i have that gut feeling that the Wii's marketshare will hover around 55%. After all is said and done that is.



Deep into the darkness pearing

Long i stood there

Wondering

Fearing

Doubting.

Never?

Hell I will take that bet, even if the Wii does slow down it won't do it all of a sudden so it should manage 50%...probably this year, maybe early 2009.

I don't want your debt though.

Didn't you have positive VG$ yesterday? what went on?



wii very close to 50% market share
