I think since it is 5 weeks, but the end of Nintendo's fiscal year, Wii/DS sales will be about the same as last month. Apparently 360 and PS3 will be as well since it seems like Motorstorm offset some of the PS3 sales decline, without stopping it or reversing the trend, and 360 had little to drive it this month besides games from earlier in the year, DDR and GH2 late in the period..so I'm gonna say...
DS - 420,000 (84,000/week - 'short supply')
Wii - 330,000 (66,000/week - about a 20% drop/week based on supply)
PS2 - 320,000 (64,000/week - dropping off when adjusted for 5 weeks despite God of War 2)
360 - 275,000 (55,000/week - staying within that 50-55k range/week as usual)
PSP - 200,000 (40,000/week - slightly higher than usual)
GBA - 180,000 (36,000/week - great bargain/gift)
PS3 - 165,000 (33,000/week - small bump from Motorstorm week to week)
GC - 20,000 (4,000/week - Dead.)
Xbox - 350 (50/week - Dead Squared.)
As a general rule 200k-300k is normal in the first 8 months of the year..with 150k to 200k as bad, 300k to 350k as good, 350k+ usually a result of an amazing game or sheer dominance, and under 150k usually due to a drought, price, or a dying console.
When big games come out in Sept-October the ante goes WAY up..and sales can reach 500,000 or more. November and December are in a league of their own.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
