Reminds me of "GameCube momentum" in 2003...

May be a bit off-topic, but I'm definitely getting a distinct "contemporary Republican Party" vibe from Sony these days.

"Yeah, we may have lost the Presidency, and the opposition has a super-majority in the Senate, and we just screwed ourselves out of a House seat in NY-23, and we don't have a single non-crazy candidate to run in 2012, but the latest polling numbers show a slight drop in Obama's popularity! We're poised to dominate, baby!"

vs.

"Yeah, we may appear to be losing this generation's console war, and Nintendo has sold tens of millions more units than us, and Nintendo is outselling us by hundreds of thousands on a weekly basis, and we really don't have a viable strategy for the next generation aside from poorly aping the competition, but look! Nintendo's numbers are down 10% from last year and ours are slightly up! Boo-yah, SONY dominaton!"

lol if sony is the Republican party and nintendo is the Democratic party
then what is the Xbox 360 gonna be???? LMAOOO

Libertarians, obviously.

In the 3rd place and pleased.

Can't blame them for that, can we?

Yes.  Gamecube outsold it for a bit in 2003 after it's pricedrop.

Edit: I'm surprised as you are.  I just googled it.

I think Sony is right to a degree. Nintendo is loosing momentum but even with that loss of momentum they are still handing Sony their butt on a silver platter. I don't think its anything to be worried about too much, sales of the Wii will probubly rebound to a degree next year with Nintendo's fine line-up. If the Wii doesn't manage to take back its lost ground then Nintendo may cut the Wii's price again and make it more attractive to budget gamers!

What ? I laughed very hard now!  Reminds you of "GameCube momentum"? LOL!

"Gamecube momentum" - price $99,00

PS3 momentum - price $299,00

Gamecube was dying when they achieved that "momentum". It was Nintendo's desperate measure. There isn't any kind of relation to what is PS3 now. Go study game history.

Nintendo is indeed losing momentum.
Both DS and Wii are down YoY,especially the DS,while the PS3 was up 52% last week,from last year's numbers.


What? DS: 2008 vs 2009 - it's selling ~30M yearly WW third year in a row.


No DS only sold 20 million this year and 30 million last year IN 2008

If it did in the US and UK it's fairly likely it did it world wide.  the US was a much bigger marketshare back then to my knowledge.

Don't know how one would check World Wide though.  Before VGchartz there really was no decent source.
