No marketshare has changed. The numbers of consoles haven't been changed. What changed was the estimates in the VGChartz sales database. They're really good, but not perfect, and the sales team always corrects for errors as soon as possible and keeps them up to date as best they can.

It's like if you got a pregnancy test that said you were pregnant, and then another that said you weren't pregnant, and then you went running around going "Whoa, I was only pregnant for 5 minutes! What happened?!?!?"

Just get over it. It won't harm you in any way.

How do you lose something you never had?

It's like you're dreaming of getting something...but when you wake up you never got it.

Ah well, thread's pretty hilarious so far.

 

According to this site, wii had that marketshare and now... according to this site it has less! Zomg!

Dude, take a chill pill! I am just going by the numbers on this site. They went down so it is pretty clear that wii lost marketshare.  Do you know where I can find better numbers?

If you don't then I'm still going with the numbers on this site. 48,8% > 48,6%. Thxbye.

 

Last year on May 2008, Wii was at 44.8% and Now it is at 48.6%. Wii won around 4% in only 1 year just to let you know...

X360 was at 33.4% (today 29.7%) and PS3 was at 21.8% (today 21.7%).

That says a lot....

Those negative sales are starting to kick in?! ;)

I think this decrease was due to adjustments. Not a big deal.

Having said that... It's still outselling the PS3 and 360 combined outside Japan. Japan is the problem now, and the potential solutions are coming soon.

I think the constant overtracking of wii is a big deal. I'm just glad the adjustments are being made.

Thanks, my sig rocks.

I know this point was lost on its targets, but if it makes you feel better it was a pretty funny simile.

Dude, take a chill pill! I am just going by the numbers on this site in the past week. They went up nicely and then down an insiginificant bit, so it is pretty clear that wii got readjusted slightly.  Do you know where I can find better numbers?

If you don't then I'm still going with the numbers on this site. Last week, it was 47.9, later last week it went to 48,8%, then adjusted the following day to 48,6%. Thxbye.

 

 

Bolded parts corrected for accuracy. Fixed.
