Still amazes me just how much the Wii has fallen. Even when compared to last Year... 2.6 Million down on last Year already. 5.6 Million (!!!!!) down on 2008.
In a way though, it's deserved.
Given the 3DS price cut, next week might not be as boring. Maybe.
PS3 doing good market-share wise.
Wii will do about 12M this year I reckon or maybe 13M if lucky, the others to do 15M+
What a weird year this has been.
It's just the after-affect of dominating for so long. It was inevitable. I actually surprised the Wii is holding so well given how freakin' many machine there already are out there no doubt still working fine. (Not a lot of need to replace them...)
