Apparently, a good second week for Soul Calibur IV (both Platform). Wii Fit still a killer.
Double post, but that's better for lisibility.

Beijing 08 gets a good boost.
big week for wii. all games are up it would appear. I would suspect a 20% increase in HW in the UK.
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
15 x Wii
15 x NDS
6 x XB360
4 x PS3
0 PSP und PS2
Sony is Doomed in UK
UK definetly becoming Nintendo centric but remember who does have the most hardware sales so its not that surprising.
