Week 2 Video Game Console



The Star will have to be the Nintendo Wii. They have reached incredible sales faster than any other rival.  
“Nintendo (NTDOY) threw a PR party of sorts as sales of its Wii game console passed  the 30-million-unit mark in the U.S. The Japanese company said it hit the “milestone” in 45 months, 15 months faster than any of its rivals.”

The dollar sign will have to go to the Sony playstation. I feel that Sony’s sales are great due to the blue-ray capability.

The Dog will have to go to the Microsoft X-box 360.
“Even with the success achieved by the Xbox 360, the gaming industry as a whole showed a pretty unexpected performance and the total sales figures for the month of February, was down by 15 percent.”

The Star will be the Apple apps.
“There have been about 718 million DS games sold in the system's history, and about 252 million games sold on the PSP. And there have been 6.5 billion downloads of iOS apps so far (with 1.5 billion of those being game and entertainment apps). When you compare the numbers that way, yes, Apple is far outselling Nintendo and Sony in terms of game sales. But of course, iOS apps tend to be much cheaper than Sony and Nintendo's software (if not free), and gamers could probably argue all day about the difference in average quality of the two platforms.”
