So at this rate (and if the trend continues, which is very likely) its safe to say the Wii will eventually hit 50% marketshare.

and this is during a period which is deemed a dry period for game releases.

 

 yes wii will most likely hit 50%

Big numbers for Wii and HUGE numbers for DS. WOW! The gap is ever tightening between PS3 and 360 in others. This is going to be a great battle for 2nd place in the console war.

 

Yeah I noticed that. The 360 is only 16,600 behind. Who would have ever predicted that? Well done DS and Wii. Pure domination.

Somebody must not have told the 179,005 people who bought the wii that there are no games coming out for it and that nintendo is losing it's steam.

 

Well somebody would have had to tell them, because it's not like they are the type of people who would have been watching the live feed of Nintendo's E3 conference.  Or maybe they are, and they just had to get a Wii after seeing the "air drums" in action...

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 ==> have you seen the price of the Xbox360 compared to the PS3 ???

also, determining a trend, based on 1 week, is a bit ... unsafe.



Time to Work !

Another Nintendominate week ,but if we exclude DS and Wii from the list.

PS3 and Xbox360 still close too each other ,PS3 a bit better but when Xbox360 price cut arrived.I really want to know what PS3 will do.

Slow sales week in Others. August is a slow month for sales. What hit games are coming out in August that are worth talking about? PS3 and X360 numbers are very low. I expected PS3 to be outselling X360 by a wider margin. Even Wii numbers look a bit low as well, below 200k for the week.

September will be a lot bigger. October, November and December will be big months and we will see good consoles sales with the new launch titles coming out for the Xmas sales period.
