Agreed actually - Sony will have enough to cheer about this month, but MS definitely won't.

The problem for Sony though, is this:
- PS3 gets GTA4 & MGS4 (two of the biggest and most anticipated titles this gen)
- Wii gets ... nothing? (restocked?)
- Wii (at least) doubles PS3 sales for the month.

(is it a 4 or 5 week for NPD reporting this month?)

PS3 could be in the 350k-400k region for the month - but the Wii could hit 800k (or even 1m, if its a 5 week period and Ninty keep the shipments up)

VGChartz has Wii at ~650k for this month. It's a four week month, since the fifth week is only two days of June. If the last day of the month of reporting falls on thurs-sat then it counts for the reporting month. If it falls on a sun-wed, then it doesn't count for the reporting month. At least that's what someone told me before. So this is a 4 week month

Wii - 650

PS3 - 275

360 - 230

(According to VG Chartz.)

No NPD should have it as a 5 week month I believe.

NPD has 5 week months for the last month of each quarter, so it goes 4 - 4 - 5, 4 - 4 - 5 etc.... and every March, June, September and December are 5 week months (because this method eventually goes out of sequence every 7 years January has a 5 week month too.)

So NPD June is 5 weeks. I think it's the 5 weeks ending 5th July.
