I've updated my article as promised.

Among completely comparable software, and definitely among hardware, Vgchartz did a superb job in August.


But I did better :) Well on hardware of course. I couldn't begin to predict software.

 

This 26k 360 is going to push 360 sales to almost exactly my 310k estimate..

 

Dont mess with me on 360 sales, vgchartz :)

 

Vgchartz does well but you keep seeming to miss one obvious outlier each month. The last two months being the 360 undercounted.

 

Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but it seems to me like 360 could push 450-500k in 5 week September. At any rate, even if it has a conservative month, 360's September USA NPD is going to obliterate all kinds of Xbox (1 or 360) records. It's going to be the best selling non-holiday month for a microsoft console, ever. And also the first one over 300k. Doing all this at an average price point (when you combine Elite and Premium sku's, core sales are almost non-existant) probably at $375 or higher. Pretty amazing. 360 is showing some real signs of breaking out.
