| johnlucas said: Yes I do. We won't see July 31 week's results until 2nd week of August remember? Snip a few days off and you'll have your figure. I think the VGChartz guys post these updates every Wednesday so stay tuned to August 8 to see my prediction come true. We got two more weeks. Remember they had 8.95 million something as July 1 rolled around showing late June numbers and now we see 'em close to 9.60 million on July 26 counting mid July figures. And best believe they're preparing to have systems in stock for USA release of Mario Strikers first super Wi-Fi Wii title. Pokemon was warm up. Strikers is the first of many main courses. Nintendo is really struggling to keep up with this demand. Their own system surprised even them in how successful it can be. Can't wait until those newly contracted factories start kicking in.

Let's assume no Xbox 360 is sold until the end of this month:
From what I can see, Wii sales until end of June were 8.85 million. After 22nd of July we're at 9.57 million. That's 32.7k Wiis sold per day. 9 days till the end of the month. 9*32.7 = 294.3k Wiis sold until the end of this month, assuming past trends. Now let's assume Wii sales increase 100% in all regions (not just America):
294.3*200% plus 9.570 million Wiis sold so far gives 10.16 million at the end of the month. The 360 now stands at 10.19 million sold.
Remember this is assuming no Xbox 360 sales and a doubling of Wii sales/supply everywhere. What kind of American sales/supply increase are you expecting due to Mario Strikers?
You are wrong, don't tell me later I didn't warn you :P
PS: I ignored one day of sales difference due to the fact that week ends are different in America. Shouldn't change the numbers by any significant amount.
