Wii & DS off from last year's blistering pace but very strong by any other measure.
PS3 doing great.
360 needs to do something or it'll keep losing momentum to PSWii.
I'm beginning to think the Wii and DS have peaked, particularly the Wii. Even with a price cut, it can't manage last year's numbers. It will sell for many years to come, but the chance of its crossing the PS2 is decreasing. The DS will, of course, breeze past the PS2. But it's even fallen below the Wii now. No matter, a hardware revision or two and a price cut will get things back on track, and it still outpaces the PSP by a fair bit.
The PS2 is dropping massively. Down 53% YoY? I suppose it's 9 years old, but why the sudden drop from 2008 to 2009? Lack of quality software?
PS3 is doing relatively well, up YoY. The price cut + Slim seem to have had a lasting effect rather than just a small boost, and have done a lot more to push hardware than the late 2007 price cut + 40GB. 2009 > 2008 > 2007 in sales, which is a good sign.
X360 isn't doing fantastically, but of course a price cut could change all of that. Not for a while, though. And I doubt Natal will push much hardware.
PSP isn't doing too abysmally, but sales aren't great, either. Even with the quality software it's seeing now that didn't get in these amounts last year.

How did you get the numbers so fast? I checked when you post this thread and the numbers still weren't up!!
Does ioi page you before he publishes the numbers or something?

9% isn't really a boost. It's just regular fluctuation.

remember when 360 fans were shouting "BUT ITS THE ONLY CONSOLE UP YOY!" expecting the 360 to consistantly be up yoy even after a year of new price... yeah... about that...
Ps3 360 gap almost back to the start of Ps3's launch. One more week.

Look kantor, the DS may have peaked, but it ebtter have, the things been out AGES
If wii has peaked this early its a SHOCK, I am not willing to accept the market leader has peaked in the second year
@somini
nowadays ioi makes a NEWS STORY on the numbers, I posted them as soona s I saw the news story....the numbers he puts in the NEWS STORY are int he form of that table thats near the bottom of the OP
so I didn't post it before numbers were up
Haha, and to think some (or lots of?) people thought the PS3 would go below 200K 3/4 weeks after the Slim launched.
