I'd be interested to see how many people bought a Pro, and how many people bought an Arcade with no hard drive.

That said, Nintendomination is so sweet. Anyone still think the PS3 will beat the Wii this gen?

Crisis has not affected the game industry for the most part.  Different crisis in Japan separate from the economy though.  But this is mainly due to the upward movement of the industry was just so strong that really nothing could have offset it.  Mainly due to growth from new customers and less money on entertainment being spent on movies, theaters, music, toys, ect. and more allocated towards digital gaming.  Thus actually while this industry continues to grow during a hurt economy the only markets that will be hurt when dealing with entertainment is those that aren't video gaming.  Great how those things work out but not going to be pretty for the music and movie industry.  Luckily Dark Knight later this year should help out the movie industry for a short time.

well the market for wii is much different to ps360, so i highly doubt ps3 will edge wii in total sales LT mabey, but the nintendomination sweet thing i have to laugh about................. games?

ps3 will beat nintendomination in gaming.

Or, more likely, both systems will sell about the same as they did this week, with a small (10-20%) boost as we continue to move towards the holidays. You'd think by now that everyone would have learned that hardware doesn't go through huge spikes for new releases. Software numbers go up and down frequently, hardware tends to stay pretty steady. The games that provide noticeable, sustained pushes (e.g. Halo 3) are very few and far between.

Also, kudos on quietly erasing your original 2008 prediction numbers, KBG. I believe they were something like 32m for Wii, 25m for PS3, right?
