My god, the GBA sold as much as PS3. DS number sounds kinda low though, makes me wonder if this is accurate.

Is there still supply problems for DS? 250K is kinda weak.

400K for Wii and 165K looks like its simply calculated from the Feb. numbers. 5 weeks instead of 4. Is that all Pachter does, or are all factors extremely consistent? 360 would be a bit of a drop, and represent only about 420K WW for a 5-week period. Ouch.

Anyways, Pachter is waaay off sometimes. So I'll just wait and see.



"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.

The only sure thing is that Sony will lose it`s 70%+ marketshare.  I say Nintendo gets 40%, 360 30% and PS3 30%.  Sony will lose more than half of it`s marketshare.  OUCH.



The 'preview' for the hardware seems suspect. It looks like its entirely extrapolated from Febuary. Of course, the Wii should be around that number. DS seems low. PSP would be suprising if true.

 Big news is the software: GoW2, GH and GRAW 2. Xbox 360 FTW with 2 of the 3 games :)



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Considering Feb was a week shorter and the DS sold 575k count me skeptical it only sold 250k in March.

Wii is still doing amazing, this should quell all the "nintendo holding back supply" comments 



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

how is it a preview ? the numbers are fake.



The preview is how much $$$ was sold in video game systems. The rest is upto actuals.

 

IE, look at Boxofficemojo's weekend estimates and actuals. Studios always put out an idea after the initial #s come out, but when actuals come out, the numbers can vary quite a bit.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Maybe they are holding DS stock for the PokeBomb this month...
