A few ideas on Febuary - VF5 won't get huge sales, due it only having a few days to garner sales. I'd expect around 130k units this month, and maybe 150k next month....Regardless if you like it or not. H/W, expect the Wii to continue excellent sales, even into mid or all of March. I doubt the PS3 is going to see any sort of increased sales. "No one" wants a PS3 at that price. And by no one, I mean the 230k that will buy it this month. S/W, mostly holdovers for the major titles minus VF5. When did Wii Play launch this month? My pre-eliminary predictions, subject to massive change. NPD Numbers, not VG numbers Wii - 385,000 NDS - 305,000 360 - 268k (first month above PS2) PS2 - 265k PS3 - 235k PSP - 175k S/W GoW - 145k LP - 160k LoZ:TP Wii = 135k Wii Play - 110k Guitar Hero 2 - 160k Sonic & Secret Rings - 75k Slightly subdued charts from last month - 20% downturn for all the systems (due to 1 less week). No truely big story other than "OmG, Wii continues to dominate" A few notes - LoZ will continue to decline in tier ratio. I was VERY suprised with the numbers - Both totally screwed over my Jan predictions (if I would of had both even at 50%, I would of won the month). Between this and Wario increasing in sales, we can see that the purchasers of the Wii are becoming more and more casual, and they will start driving sales of Wii software and Wii hardware. March will be the true test of each system - lots of games. I predict a 360 upset in March, not in H/W but in S/W domination.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
