With the launch of the weekly US sales figures, thought it would be a good time to launch the US March sales thread.

I'll get this started now, work out some figures based on the weekly figures posted - and post them here for discussion (Im assuming they are correct :>). I am assuming the month runs from the 4th March till April 8th (5 week period).

Hardware: (in weekly breakdowns)

DS: 129, 125, 121, 118, 114: --- 607k
Wii: 95, 91, 88, 86, 84: --- 444k
360: 66, 67, 67, 64, 72: --- 336k
PSP: 49, 49, 49, 49, 54: --- 250k
PS3: 39, 41, 40, 36, 32: --- 188k

(the numbers adjusted for a 4week period - to compare with last month - are:

DS: 485k
Wii: 355k
360: 268k
PSP: 200k
PS3: 150k

top numbers * 0.8)

US has weekly sales figures... for march ?

Do we really need another guessing thread... The official sales figures will be available today.

Edit:

I'm assuming your numbers aren't correct.

you better believe i'll be doing a statistical correlation test tommorow to make sure NPD numbers and American numbers have a strong linear and positive relationship

Check out the front page. Not sure where they came from, but assuming they are valid. Maybe extrapolated from the monthly figures? But then, there are figures for LAST week!

(ask ioi, not me ;) 

I'll leave this at this for now, and get back to work :)

If someone wants to process the software sales figures - go for it. All up, the figures look pretty much as expected (and a lot like last month). 

mehh... to much "guess".

not enouth official numbers. 

we'll have a decent idea if these are right when we see the march NPD numbers

Where is Bunkum?

 you're right... but I will be F*****G hard to wait until it !
