". While the change is statistically insignificant due to it being within the margin of error for the survey, it still shows signs that sales have begun to stabilize."

"The 360 saw a similar drop, with sales in March of 199,000 units. That was down 13 percent from the previous month. However, still strong was the PlayStation 2, with sales of 280,000, down 5 percent."

"Altogether sales of video games, devices, and accessories were $1.1 billion USD in March, up 33 percent year over year."

"Wii sales dropped? Isn't that weird how that happened when supplies are very low...it's almost as if not being able to find one in stores has an effect on sales. How interesting."

"Hmmm...Nintendo made their '06 forecast of 6 million shipped, therefore they opted to hold off on shipping Wiis so they could stockpile them a little. This will allow FY '07 to start off with a bang (release a bunch of Wiis in time to coincide with the launch of Pokemon DS? Sounds like a winner to me), and make investors very happy at the start of the year. Look for a HUMONGOUS Wii rebound in April."

"I haven't researched, but the sales drop for Wii's could be becuase there isn't any to buy. I can't find any at any of my local stores anyway. I bought one for my brother (for his birthday) and I want to get one for myself too."

"Wii's are around. My local BestBuy (Sacramento) had about 10 of them on the shelves when I went in last weekend."

"Nintendo is has sold more units every month since its release. It was/is first place for March, and will continue to sell well."

"Based on the fact it only dropped 23% same percentage mind you, means there were more units in March overall."

"I still can't walk into Walmart to buy a Wii, but there are 2 PS3 that are the public eye (who knows what they have in the back )."

"sure I read the article...they are only talking about current or recent months sales right?"

"So I will ask you then go research myself, to date, how many Xbox360s, PS3s, Wiis have been sold and how many months has it been for each?"

"I love this. Wii sales dropped drastically, but were still much higher than any other console."

"Makes sense. The Wii is awesome. Now if I could just save up enough to get a PS3... =p"

"Now that the Wii hype is dying down, Sony will continue to rise to the top - the elite 360 is a sign that MS is scared of what's to come."

"The X-Box 360 Elite is coming out well ahead of the next version of the PS3. Sony's big news to fight off the Elite is to stop selling their low end version of the PS3."

"or maybe your mom itz scare of that... everyone knows that sony sucks but the sony's "fanboys/girls""

"Oh yeah, and what's that? An even HIGHER priced PS3? Now that Sony is phasing out the 20GB model, you have no choice but to buy the pricier 60G model. I'm sure Microsoft is reeeeal scared of that. Trust me, if Microsoft were scared of the PS3 at all, we would've seen a price drop already. They have a very comfortable lead and they know it. Right now the PS3 is not a threat to Microsoft at all. They know Sony absolutely cannot lower the price of the PS3, in fact, they have to increase it and STILL lose tons of money."

"I mean, just look at the numbers from March. The Wii, Xbox360 and the 7 year old PS2 *ALL* outsold the PS3. 'nuff said."

"Incase you have problems reading the 360 is still outselling the PS3 even though the PS3 just came out. Also the reason why they made an elite is because there was people complaining about the HDD being to small and no HDMI, so to satisfy their customers(gasp) they gave them what they wanted. If anyone should be scared it should be Sony with their lacking sales compared to the 360 and the Wii."

"I'm still impressed that the PS2 is more than doubling up the PS3. That tells me all I need to know."

"Good new for Sony, at the low end people are favoring PS2 over WII, and at the high end, people are favoring PS3 over the 360.."

"O really? How do you figure the high end is favoring PS3 over 360. Looks to me like the 360 has been outselling the PS3 every month. The 360 has the better games this round. This is the PS2 vs Xbox in reverse."

"...that people would rather buy a 7-year-old console than the shiny new "must-have" console Sony told everyone the PS3 would be?"

"quiet so far so i'm going to try and start something up. you know, provocation is the mother
