NPD will report sales and financials for the US video game market later today.  As leaks and numbers become available I will update this thread and no doubt so will others.

VGC estimates the following for US:

Wedbush's Big Bill Pachter predicts:

- software sales in the U.S. will total $690 million
- this is up 14 percent compared to last year's $605 million
- the release line-up for this year's October and November period is "one of the strongest in history."
- 180,000 Nintendo Wii units sold (36% lower than VGC extimate)
- 350,000 Xbox 360 units sold (16%  lower than VGC estimate)
- 265,000 PS3 units (8.6% lower than VGC estimate)
- 140,000 DS units
- 250,000 3DS units (3.8% lower than VGC estimate)
- hardware unit sales during October will be flat compared to October of last year
- handheld sales were up 8 percent thanks to the Nintendo 3DS

Hummmmm...

My prediction this time

360: 420k (on spot or a little over VGC shows)
PS3: 320k (a little over VGC shows)
Wii: 250k (a little under VGC shows)

The others I don't know... 3DS is the hardest do say.

10 hours? then why did you post it now, you couldnt have waited till there was an hour or two to go?

you posted just to say that? 

we always start a NPD thread well in advance...

ignore it for 9 hours if it makes you feel better.

Because people here love to make predictions and speculate a bit. Some numbers are released before too.

hopefully 3DS won't be overtracked again

If Pachter predicts 265k, then wouldn't that be "lower" than the VGC estimate of 290k?

me think 360 at 430K, PS3 at 311K and Wii 174K,  I expect 3DS to be over tracked too by a tidy amount.

265,000 PS3 units (9.4% higher than VGC estimate)

um,i think it's lower?

oops sorry
