Yeah its amazing lol....alot of people buy the Wii but yet their are alot in stock in eveyr store I go in to...they must really be manufacturing those at a fast rate....

I walked into Times Squares Toysrus and their was a bunch of Ps3's, Xbox 360's and Wii's but it's amazing considering almost every1 had a Wii in their hands lmao...plus as Im leaving I over hear people saying hey lets get a Wii...wow like this must be the most appealing console in history...

Pretty normal week except wii of course.

 Sorry, i mean HD console war.

Whoa @ Wii. Maybe it's the Madworld effect?

With or without Killzone2/Halo Wars, Wii keeps pissing on everything.

I don't think it is all about winning with Sony anymore. Just recouperating their loses on PS3 should be considered a win, profit will be a bonus. Contrary to popular believe the PS3 is far from dead or dying, it just suffering from a serious flu.

Strategic price cuts by Microsoft as the PS3 was finding it's feet and a low entry price by Nintendo knocked them back.

The strong Yen isn't helping either. The weak pound in a strong UK console market and the euro also forecasted to nosedive at some point soon will affect all three consoles' profit/lost.

Nintendo is in the best position here as even if they up the price to counter the weakening pound/euro as they indicated they would, I don't think it would affect their sales because the wii is unique. I am not sure it is wise for the other two (definitely not sony) to follow as such. Meaning more lost for sony and microsoft.

Cash rich Nintendo and Microsoft are in a good position to counter a lot of what the recession can throw at them, I am not sure Sony is.

It should be interesting to see the numbers for the next couple of weeks as everywhere you turn around here you run into an XBOX 360 deal of some sort. There's a couple PS3 deals to be found as well. Must be clearance time before the end of the first quarter.

Gap is 35607 not 23555.

 I think he rounded down by a lot.

Great numbers, Wii sales are crazy. 360 rebounds, looks like it's back on top of the PS3 WW this week. Next 2 weeks numbers with RE5's release in NA will be very interesting.

I think this shows the PS3 is in dire need of cutting the price now. Looking at the calander after RES5 there is not much coming of note until the end of the year really for any of the consoles.

I would not be surprised to hear Sony announce the price drop at GDC next week. It threw everything it had at the last 2 weeks (releasing YK3,KZ2, new cheaper bundles in europe/japan, mass marketing etc) and for all that they lasted a week at the top. barely making a dent in the Nintendo/Microsoft armor.

One thing is for sure in my book whatever happens in the next 4 months will make or break this gen for Sony.
