Analysis
WiiU - looking awesome. The WiiU has the top 3 spots on Most Wanted and 2/3 of the games (XenoBlade and Zelda) don't even have release dates yet. WiiU is going to continue to dominate.
3DS - looking terrible. The top 3 3DS games all release during October/November of this year and 4th only has 6 points. While the announcement of the new 3DS and XenoBlade for 3DS is nice, the system needs some more new games. If the 3DS doesn't get support at Tokyo Game Show, I expect the Vita to surpass the 3DS in total points
XB1 - Meh. The top 2 games are releasing this fall, but I expect a lot of Halo MCC votes to shift to Halo 5 and XB1's other exclusives. Going to be some turnover this November, but no drastic change
360 - Dead. With Forza Horizon 2 releasing in September, and Borderlands releasing in October, I don't see much life, if any, for the 360 here. I don't see anyone voting for the 360 variant with a multi-platform title anymore and there are no more exclusives so..... :-/
PS4 - Going to grow. Most of the top PS4 games are 2015 releases, and I expect points to grow for these franchises (The Order, Bloodborne, Silent Hills, etc). With TGS just around the corner and Persona 5 announced as a PS3/PS4 multi-platform title, I see PS4 growing the most over then next 3 months.
PS3 - Stable-ish. While Borderlands, Kingdom Hearts and Destiny are releasing soon, Tales of Zesteria, Persona 5 and Atelier Shallie should keep PS3 alive for a bit. Will loose some votes now that Persona 4 is confirmed for PS4 as well
Vita - Is going to get hurt this fall with most of its big games releasing, but with Freedom Wars and Oreshika releasing down the road, I see Vita topping 3DS on the Most Wanted section of VGC.
PC - Also going to get hurt badly. With the #2-6 games releasing this fall, and The Witcher 3 releasing in February, I see points plummeting.

Conclusion, WiiU and PS4 are expected to grow, XB1 and PS3 will stay stable, 3DS, Vita and PC will shrink.

Extended Analysis
Now that EVERYTHING is up, we can see the greater picture, especially since last month.
| Platform | September (%) | August (%) | Change (%) |
| WiiU | 32 | 37 | -5 |
| PS4 | 28 | 26 | +2 |
| XB1 | 10 | 11 | -1 |
| Vita | 9 | 5 | +4 |
| 3DS | 8 | 9 | -1 |
| PC | 7 | 8 | -1 |
| PS3 | 6 | 5 | +1 |
SONY IS STEALING EVERYTHING (p.s. % are rounded).
| Publisher | September (%) | August (%) | Change (%) |
| Nintendo | 36 | 45 | -9 |
| Sony | 15 | 10 | +5 |
| Microsoft | 10 | 8 | +2 |
This is surprising because most of Nintendo's big games are releasing now (Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta, Smash Bros, Pokemon). This miight be a result from an average turnabout, but still this is alarming for Nintendo. Even if the HUGE drop for Nintendo published games is just a random fluctiation from the voters, most of Nintendo's big games do release within the next 2-3 months. So...bad new Nintendo.
| Genre | September (%) | August (%) | Change (%) |
| JRPG | 23 | 25 | -2 |
| Action-Adventure | 21 | 21 | 0 |
| Shooter | 14 | 15 | -1 |
| Fighting | 11 | 12 | -1 |
| Action | 8 | 9 | -1 |
| WRPG | 5.5 | 8 | -2.5 |
This one I don't get, how did all the major genres drop in market share? Yes Silent Hills was announced increasing the Horror market share from 1%-3.5%, but what about the rest? Are Miscellaneous and Sports genres growing? Shooters I understand, Sunset Overdrive was listed as a Shooter before, but I changed it to Action-Adventure, but wow.
Plus funny facts, Smash Bros is the only fighter, and I bet the shooter market share will drop with Destiny released.
What is with all the hate? Don't read GamrReview Articles. Contact me to ADD games to the Database
