A similar article over at Next Gen offered Patcher and Sim Exchange estimates, as well as VGChartz's. But the VGC numbers were butchered.

Hardware sales predictions were as follows from Pachter (The simExchange) (VGChartz):

Wii - 750,000 (744,000) (645,327)
Xbox 360 – 250,000 (216,000) (191,992)
PS3 - 225,000 (228,000) (177,989)
PS2 - 125,000 (n/a) (105,894)
DS - 550,000 (510,000) (454,086)
PSP - 200,000 (211,000) (193,188)

 

Those numbers ARE NOT what the Source has in his NPD preview, so where the hell did they get them from?


Looks to me like they took the NA numbers from NPD preview and multiplied by 0.9 to estimate US sales only.
