Anyone want to take a guess on the next PS3 title to make the NPD top 10?
June I think is going to be dominated by Pokemon D/P (DS), Forza 2 (360), Mario Party 8 (Wii), Big Brain Academy (Wii), Harry Potter (PS2 and or Wii), Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii), Spiderman 3 (PS2), GH II (360), and maybe something like Sim City (DS), or another movie game will make the top 10.
June NPD is 5 weeks - which means it runs through July 7, 2007.
Just looking at the software, in the USA I would expect PS3 to be 90,000-100,000 (actually a decline with the extra week factored in to the mix), Wii to be 400-450k, and 360 to be 130k-170k. DS will probably do another 450k (decline on a weekly basis), and PSP will likely do 200k (decline on a weekly basis). PS2 is probably going to dip further to around 175k (35k/week), and GC will probably do like 9,000 or so.
July I think will see PS3 games in the top 10 again, and I think the hardware will pick up to over 100k that month, June doesn't look good though...With E3 in July and Sony using PS2 to buttress PS3 costs, I wouldn't be surprised at a PS2 price drop, since this was the first time in three years PS2 sold under 200,000 in the USA.
