"Sales remain in line with expectations, occasionally even exceeding them," commented Tim Ellis, head of games for the entertainment specialist. "We're looking forward to further games releases, and when the time's right, a suitable price revision to take the console to its next level of sales."
Microsoft's Xbox 360 isn't having any problems attracting buyers yet either, despite being on the market longer than its competitors. "The console continues to hold its own and I'm sure Microsoft will know when to consider stimulating sales further via pricing," Ellis said.
As for Nintendo, the Wii console is still one of the hottest items in stores about 6 months since it launched and supply problems are being improved. "Supply is stabilizing and Nintendo is doing a very good job of keeping us updated on key developments," said Ellis.
