July NPD, It's As Bleak As You Thought

It was a rough month for each of the console manufacturers in July, there is no disputing it, so don't bother trying. Though I don't know why anyone would want to seeing as how this is a clear signal that prices are about to fall hard, and it should be for every device on the market be it handheld or console.

Everyone sustained a loss again this month, ranging from 20%-44%, the heaviest month over month losses were the Wii and DS. Nintendo is out of it's mind if they think bundles are the only thing that will keep them going. They still fared the best out of all, but that's not worth much these days. The results are below with previous month of June in blue.
