“We estimate sell-through of 725k Wii, 300k Xbox 360 and 200k PS3 consoles (a 26% year-over-year unit increase in consoles),” said the analysts.“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.”
