Fossil Fighters? lol.

PS3 and 360 are pretty close. Though is it me or does VGC always undertrack the PS3 lol? VGC seems fine with most everything else though. Wii seems higher than expected.

277k , 210k, 215k

they are all close.

Too close.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Metroid Prime Trilogy overtracked, same for Madden 10 Wii.

Wii sales are down 39% from 453k in 2008 to 277k in 2009.
PS3 sales are up 14% from 185k in 2008 to 210k in 2009.
360 sales are up 10% from 195k in 2008 to 215k in 2009.

If my prediction comes true, September 2009 will be the worst NPD month so far for the Wii since launch.
Looks like it could happen, since the worst month has been July 2009 with 252k units sold. August saw a slight bump caused by WSR, but September has it all going for the HD consoles.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
