Projection Time: 

Projected USA+Canada rates using July Canada data & Total sales/canada (for June*) in a sales extrapolation:

* June was 5 weeks, July is 4 weeks.  Also, Nintendo seems to have shipped a higher than normal amount of Wiis to Canada, since Wii Canada sales suggest Canada = 12% of North America, while all other totals suggest 5-8% 

** PSP in Canada appears to be anamoly this month, as Sony prepares for the new model PSP...

DS Projected Total: 608,313 (562,558 for the USA projection)

Wii Projected Total: 298,909 (253,490 for the USA projection)

PSP Projected Total: 97,166**(91,342 for the USA projection)

PS2 Projected Total: 281,763 (261,484 for the USA projection)

PS3 Projected Total: 242,893 (227,856 for the USA projection)

Xbox 360 Projected Total: 205,522 (192,403 for the USA projection)

GBA Projected Total: 134,950 (125,200 for the USA projection)

The Source Expects (USA July NPD):

DS - 450k-500k

Wii - 320k-360k

PSP - 220k-260k

PS2 - 190k-230k

PS3 - 135k-175k

Xbox 360 - 110k-160k

GBA - 75k-100k

What do you expect?  Any surprises?  Will NPD be similar to Vgchartz?  How will the online retailers impact NPD?

Post away!

Do you think it'll make it into the headlines like AP, CNN, Reuters, etc. if Wii do take the lead?



Currently loving my Wii x2, Xbox 360 Pro & Xbox 360 Arcade, and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Limited "Cloud Black" 160GB PS3

GAMEFLY & GOOZEX FTW

 

 

 

 

Well most mainstream websites are unaware of Vgchartz, and professional tracking agencies (the guys who actually get paid), charge money for their data, so it won't be official for a while yet...

But this thread is only about USA sales, where Wii remains at least 6+ months away from pulling ahead of lifetime Xbox 360 sales...so I don't know why you put that question here?

Numbers look good to me, and in line with my expectations.

Obviously, the big question will be PS3 & 360 sales - I think results will be closer than expected, but that PS3 will win out (and make big headlines).

Raw NPD figure predictions:

Wii: 345k

360: 145k

PS3: 155k

DS: 450k

PSP: 225k

GBA: 80k

PS2: 220k

I'll probably get called a Wii fanboy for this, whatever, but did anyone else notice that the GBA, a more or less dead and dieing system, outsold the PS3 4 of the last 6 months and one of those months it was only outsold by a few thousand units?



twest, yep there has been heaps of posts over that whole time talking about GBA vs PS3.



Mostly casual games for the Top ten. Times really are changing.

Way lower PSP numbers. I think a little lack of supply and the PSP Slim announced hurt the system alot. 150k total. DS seems a little low to me, but everything else should be right on track.
