Here is what I am projecting for 2007 (by NPD) Oct-Dec numbers are estimated, other numbers are publicly reported figures.

	.5YTD Total	July	August	September	October	November	December
Wii	~2.1 million	425,000	403,600	501,000	424,000	1,000,000	2,000,000
Xbox 360	~1.2 million	170,000	276,700	527,800	360,000	575,000	1,325,000
PS3	~763,500	159,000	130,600	119,400	90,000	400,000	1,000,000
DS	~2.7 million	405,000	383,300	495,800	390,000	850,000	2,250,000
PSP	~1.3 million	214,000	151,200	284,500	234,000	475,000	1,250,000
GBA	~740,500	87,000	69,500	75,000	48,000	100,000	225,000
PS2	~1.5 million	222,000	202,000	215,000	168,000	376,000	1,000,000

Reasons:

- Halo 3 boost wears off in October for 360 - but momentum continues. Sales won't double in Nov from Oct because the biggest game was released in Sept, and because PS3 becomes $400/$500 (and the $500 version includes a game) November 2.

Do you really think the 360 sales are going to drop that much for October? It has already sold 120k this past week (down only 5% from the previous week). The Halo effect doesn't seem to be wearing off very quickly. The 360 would need to drop to 80k/week (-30%) in order to hit 360k for October. With the holiday bundle coming up, I don't see that happening.

 these are NPD estimates, we don't know for sure whether our 120K is right or not.
