In an investor note issued ahead of the release of the NPD Group’s videogame sell-through data on March 13, Sebastian said that February videogame software sales are likely to be up 25%, compared to 11% growth in January.
Sebastian also noted that retail channel checks indicate Nintendo Wii hardware shortages persist, but said there is now an ample supply of Xbox 360 units following post-holiday shortages.

The main new points I think were confirmation of supply situation for Xbox and Wii hardware, also this analyst is in agreement with Michael Patcher about software revenue growth for February. Also, Activision are expected to continue to see most growth in software sales (GHIII and CoD4). The original investor report is longer and they only provide some of the details I guess.
Some other users must agree about the usefulness of this as I have recieved 2 downbids today for some reason :-( , either this article or the Stardock PC Piracy article I guess.
