Overall sales are down by quite a lot on last year. 4.1m consoles were sold worldwide for this week last year. This year however is 3.4m. A drop of 700k or just over 20%.

Think it is safe to assume now the peak sales for this gen have passed.

not really

next year will be BIGGER, with Zelda wii, NATAL & sony motion

I don't think any of those will have a massive impact. Zelda is the among the least selling Nintendo 1st party titles and Sony and MS' motion control are gambles at best imo.

I totally disagree

next year is a 3D Mario, Halo, Zelda, Final Fantasy & gran Turismo year

IF the market isn't up in 2010 its awful!

Of course, everyone is quietly ignoring Wii Vitality. If it targets a different market like Wii Fit did, it will completely own 2010.

Twilight Princess sold nearly 7 million. How many games manage that?

If PS3 isn't domed anymore, Wii isn't domed, XB360 isn't too and even PSP survives in a quite zombily way, there must be something domed in gaming world, the fundamentals, ferchrissake!!!

You say:
Wii/PS3/DS: Amazing
360: Respectable
PSP: Ok?... does that mean MEH?

PSP is doomed, but nobody wants to admit it because at this stage it's been kicked down so many times and struggled relentlessly on, it would just be mean. So we throw it a bone and let it have the "well it's taken marketshare!" and "it's pretty good for a first try" arguments.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

yes

I think PSP sales are awful

if DS can do this in its 5th year, PSP has no excuse to be so low

but I said OK to sound more diplomatic

I like "Pretty Good for a first try"

I also hear a lot of "Best selling non Nintendo handheld of all time"

Its a bit like getting bronze in a three runner race.

^^I wonder if MS will ever come up with a Handheld...i might buy it if it was like the DS (intutive and innovation) new things other than copying nintendo with the two screens 1 touch screen but wiht better camera resolution lol

I hope they dont. I think the PSP did about as well as anyone could do going toe to toe with nintendo, but they did it on the coattailes of the PS2 and still came up massively short of stealing marketshare (i know they took it from 100% but i mean inroads to beating sales)

MSFT doesnt have the WW appeal that Sony does so i hope they dont, id like to see them focus on the home console market so they can keep pushing Sony and vice versa i hope sony drops the PSP to focus on home consoles to push MSFT, since im a console fan, haha.

Well, the PSP can't perform like the DS, let's remember who we're talking about here. Nintendo will always be ahead of everyone on the handheld turf, that's just the way it is.


Well if we go by this logic then back in the days people could have said the same about Nintendo on the home console market before Sony took the #1 spot. I don't think that's a good argument.
