Forums - Sales - Pachter makes hardware/software sales predictions for January, numbers down

Patcher knows best!





Around the Network

The 3DS, Wii, and PS3 HW Sales seem to be near correct. Those predictions for X360 seem a little too hopeful and I hope the DS won't be selling that well. Especially in an off time. 3DS needs all the attention.



So he expects X360 up 9k YOY, PS3 down 32k YOY and Wii down 145k YOY.

I guess January deals and Decembers sales certainly point towards that.

We expect 404k for X360, 23k up YOY, 258k for PS3, down 9k YoY, and 234k for Wii, down 86k YOY.



 

No way 3DS was overtracked THAT bad.



Bleh never was a big fan of Pachter, just don't like predictions from these guys.

Those 360 numbers are ridiculous and I don't expect the PS3 and DS to sell that well at all.

Seem fine to me, last couple of years January has been higher/on par with the previous October. Last Octobers numbers were 390k for 360, 250k for PS3 and Wii.

Pachter was fairly accurate in December wasn't he?

Anyway, he says (VGC):

360: 390,000 (403k)
PS3: 235,000 (258k)
Wii: 175,000 (234k)

3DS: 215,000 (355k)

 

edit*  when I say accurate I mean closer than anyone else... 


He was off by like 500k for the 360 and 700k for the PS3 for the December NPD



things change. and i say wait for officail numbers i trust patcher as much as i trust a gunshot to the head .



He 'predicts' January sales halfway through February?

... Interesting.
