Lets put another slant on the software figures:

- in its 5th (?) Xmas, the PSP has 2 titles in the top#30 at Xmas
- in its 3rd Xmas, the PS3 has 3 titles in the top#30 at Xmas
- in its 3rd Xmas, the 360 has zero titles ("")
- in its 5th Xmas, the DS has 14 titles in the top#30 at Xmas
- in its 3rd Xmas, the Wii has 9 titles in the top#30 at Xmas

(in its 'n'th Xmas, the PS2 has 1 title in the top#30..)

7 of the 9 Wii titles are from Ninty. 5 of the 14 DS titles are from Ninty.

Next week will be interesting, with post-Xmas sales drop. Lets see what continues to sell after the holidays.

 

 Next week should be higher, if it follows last years pattern.



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

People, pay attention:

1. Post-Christmas drop is ONLY in the US...
2. Europe and Japan have their biggest weeks after Christmas...

 last year there was a 25% drop the week after cmas there, this year there was a rise, or at least it stayed steady.

yea but in japan sales stay pretty high for january and february and stay relatively high until late summer actually. People conveniently ignore this and in november people complain that Japan sales are so low. It happens every year.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Also, Kirby port outselling Original FF title.. Interesting.

You are right about Japan, but far off for Europe. Sales will be drastically down leading into January.
