Has the bubble burst yet?

Not burst as much as slowly deflated

NPD sales

april 2008 - 714000 , 2009 - 340000

may 2008 - 675000, 2009 - 289000

june 2008 - 666000, 2009 - 361000

july 2008 - 555000, 2009 - ?

Will the trend continue?

Then again the ps360 would love to have those sales

All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion

Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

Massive, crippling recession in the UK, with unemployment at record high + console reaching it's mid-point in life, + summer = horrendous sales drop-off. It really doesn't worry me at all as a Wii owner and Nintendo fan.

Christmas should see some good numbers again, as it's simply such a popular Christmas thing, even more so than PS360.... plus Nintendo still have new colours, a price cut and even a redesigned Wii up their sleeves if they need to pull them out.

For those that are unawares I assume this thread was resurrected in light of the recent Chart Track announcement. Given the recent change of fortunes the Wii has undergone in Japan and Chart Track's about face on their Wii data.....looks like the bubble will have to wait a little longer.

Credit to ioi for sticking to his guns and being right.
