Games industry analysts have weighed in with US sales predictions for the month of July, ahead of the release of official market data by the NPD Group this Thursday.

Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter and fellow analyst firm EEDAR expect Xbox 360 to be the top-selling platform for the seventh consecutive month, ahead of DS, Wii and PS3. Sony's home console is the only system both analyst firms expect to record an improvement over last July's sales total. Meanwhile, 3DS sales are forecast to come in second-bottom, ahead of PSP only, unless you still count PS2.

Wedbush / EEDAR July sales estimates (change year-on-year):
360 - 350,000 (-21%) / 401,000 (-10%)
DS - 315,000 (-21%) / 310,000 (-22%)
Wii - 230,000 (-9%) / 225,000 (-11%)
PS3 - 220,000 (+3%) / 229,000 (+7%)
3DS - 110,000 (n/a) / 100,000 (n/a)
PSP - 90,000 (+7%) / 80,000 (-5%)
PS2 - 10,000 (-59%) / n/a
Total - 1,325,000 (-7%) / 1,345,000 (-5%)

On the software front, Pachter said he expects July sales to be led by new release NCAA Football 12, with continued strong sales of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Infamous 2 and LA Noire.

So how does Pachter's prediction compare to Vgchartz estimates?

I'm betting on PS3 being a tiny bit above Wii and PSP outselling 3DS in the end :D

The sky is blue!

360 domination in the US as usual, the only place where sales count baby! US = The World!

Everybody was kung fu fighting!

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 03rd Jul 2011 to 30th Jul 2011:

So it looks like 360 is going to be another 100k or so undertracked, PS3 20-30k overtracked, Wii about right, maybe a slight overtrack.

As usual. But why are the xbox numbers off recently? (if they are)

Where did you get those VGC estimates?

His numbers looked right to me, but I'm probably missing something.

Thanks.

So his numbers were for America, whereas yours are for the US? 

according to etomaz,it's NPD overtracked 360 sales
