We would likely have to go back to pre 2000 era to find a week where weekly software sales dipped to near 150,000 units level. The previous low (I don't include 2016) since I follow the UK charts was in week 34, 2015 with 187,705 units / £4.46m. In fact, that was the only time I saw sales dropping below 200,000 units. By contrast, this is the 4th time that this year has a weekly sales below that mark.Week 18, 2016 - 192,956 units / £5.4mWeek 23, 2016 - 198,901 units / £6.1mWeek 25, 2016 - 182,070 units / £4.8mThis year is being extremely poor for the retail market. Sales dropped by over 18% during the first half of the year and this time Nintendo is a non factor because last year Nintendo was already irrelevant. The leading console (PlayStation 4) which should be entering in its prime years will not be able to match (and by a considerable margin) in 2016 what the over 6 year old PlayStation sold back in 2001, and it won't surpass by much what PlayStation 3 sold in its third year.
