This should be an interesting month. As even though the generation is clearly dieing their was still a lot of noise with pricecuts for like 1 week and various other announcements. I think this month will not be too good though, might have a stellar september due to GTAV.

As with almost every jrpg here, Tales of Xillia will be massively overtracked. After all these years we still haven't learned the lesson xD

3DS should comfortably be the best-selling hardware of the month.

I apologize in advance for my bad english.

I sort of hopped Pikmen would give WiiU a bigger boost. Wii+WiiU is slightly over half the Xbox 360.

I think you can see from the compairisoin from the year before people are waiting for a price drop or next gen.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

Tell me a funny joke!

I see, thanks.

It could be a potential disaster, then, if it's only 4 weeks. Let's see how much Pikmin did for the console and for itself.

I think Pikmin 3 released early in the month, so a fifth week for August would hardly have a positive impact, but rather make it look worse overall. 120k (retail) for Pikmin 3 and 50k hardware is my guess. Should beat Vita hardware which saw a price cut.

According to VGchartz, that would mean HW spot on, but SW overtracked by 30k.

Still, 50k for a month is so low that we won't get numbers from Nintendo PR. At best, % increase.
