no

360 is up around 30%

Oh yes I didn't check well that. Was the price cut really effective for Micoosft?

Plus Brawl was out in March last year.

Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:

If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

the confidence of the PS3 crowd over the last week or so seems to have evaporated in a few minutes here...

Stop trying to get on people's nerves. Nobody cares what you think.

All hardware but 360 down versus last year is a bit unexpected. But last year had a lot of big product early in the year. This year, the first potential growth-driver is DSi, which will be in April NPD, and then it's Motion Plus/WSR in June/July. Last year didn't have big product in June or July, IIRC.

So basically, an off month, but hopefully DSi and Motion Plus will drive some industry growth for the year.

Please read my other post - the XBOX 360 is ONLY console showing YOY GROWTH - 30%

MS got so lucky, the country that caused the recession is the one where they are strongest. Many are going for the cheaper option now, was the economy OK the price cut would not have been this effective.
