Sony were the first to have many female fans (outside the small group of die-hard female videogamers), but they basically had only one game for them: Singstar.

Off topic, but statements like this bug me. Girls played the Sims and Mario Kart and Mario and Pac-Man and Pong long before Singstar. A lot of great designers were always creating gender-neutral videogames.

"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Last remaining notable Sony markets: Belgium, Norway, Portugal, Denmark, New Zealand, Poland + Anywhere else Wii is not yet released but PS2 is.

In other words a selection of about 2/3 of the 10 smallest markets in the world that we get info for (other small markets are East Asian countries like S.Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong)

Oh and Sony still kind of has Spain+Italy in LTD hardware. But Italy will be lost soon (this year) and Spain perhaps early next year.

I'm sorry but that one got me really good, especially because I imagined it afterwards. It's probably happening right now.

NA appears to be the most balance market at the moment. Nintendo still controls the NA market, but do not own it.... yet... remember NA was the last Market for the DS to really catch on in... and the Wii shortages has not allowed nintendo to COMPLETELY dominate it... yet... I feel they will and Holidays 08 will be the Zenith.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

It seems like such a short time ago that things were more like this:

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
