New figures from data specialist GfK Chart Track have revealed the current installed base for console hardware in the UK. As of Sept 2008,the PS3 has reached 1.4m units,the 360 2.3m & the Wii 3.6m.
The numbers show considerable growth from 2007 – both the PS3 & 360 have shifted a 1m units since last year when their installed base was 0.4m & 1.3m. However,it's the Wii that has boomed in the UK, from 1.1m units in Sept 2007 to 3.6m units. Read the full article for handhelds and 2008 estimates

I see better opportunity for short in other place, such as God of War 3, Diablo 3, Rockband 2 (my personal Top 3 short investment). Those stocks give better profit margin, compared to H/W stocks. The only one I "think" can give better profit is Wii GLS, and I decided never to take any short on Wii GLS, since Wii is a "hard to predict" one.
