Going to be very interesting to see.

If 2009 ends up smaller than 2008 (looking likely), would you be kind enough to do a similar thread for 2008 vs 2010?


I agree. That would be fun and positively Crazzy! I enjoy the play by play Trestres, good job, keep it up!



Khuutra on 23 October 2009

One of us could do 2008 vs 2010 while the other does 2009 vs 2010, so we have the fullest perspective possible.

Wii is DOWN 3,510,923 units from 2008!  =(

Note: Wii was adjusted like 15k up from last week. The console is still going down YoY about 40k units/week.
Nintendo has officially cut their projections down to 20 million from the 26 million projected in the 1st 2 quarters. Not a surprise to me, since with the huge YoY downwards trend it was becoming apparent, since the beginning of the FY.

This week last year it sold 647K. I don't see it matching that. Hopefully it will get within about 100K, then maybe NSMB can give it a good lead on the week after last year, 786K. If it can pick up good momentum going into Black Friday it might be able to turn things around.

Turn things around? For weekly sales it will be a really tough almost impossible job, but turn things around this year? Nope.

I meant for the holidays, obviously not the whole year. For the fiscal year they're probably still going to lose another million in Q1 2010.
