National Purchase Diary estimates for February says what all other months have been saying, Wii is the king. As per estimates of Michael Pachter of Wedbush Morgan, more than 725,000 units of Wii were sold in the month of February in the US. As per the estimates Wii is (as always) leading the market with 700k+ sales, Xbox 360 is in a distant second place with 300k sales and PS3 follows with 200k sales in the last month.
EEDAR’s predicted figures for total gaming consoles sold last month are 1,925,000. EEDAR is also expecting that software sales for Nintendo Wii and DS will account for 49% of total sales. Exact figures will be revealed on this Thursday.
Analyst says:
We estimate sell-through of 725,000 Wii, 300,000 Xbox 360 and 200,000 PS3 consoles (a 26% year-over-year unit increase in consoles). Our console sell-through forecasts reflect our belief that supplies for Wii hardware were up year-over-year. Double-digit hardware unit growth implies solid software sales growth for the succeeding year, giving us confidence in our 12% growth estimate for 2009 U.S. software sales.
