By the way, we can thank sales of accessories for mitigating what could have been even more damage. Sales of accessories were up 8% in revenue YOY (and I haven't said that much this year). The picture was significantly more bleak for the hardware and software sectors.

Activision wont be happy about Black Ops, signs that COD is running out of steam perhaps
3DS bombing hard
Vita bombing harder

Next month wont be any better, Dark Days ahead.

All bow to me the VGChartz current reigning 3DS prediction champion

Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013

July 2009 daveJ said: True the wii has a large lead now but by 2017 the most likely result will be 1. ps3 2. xbox360 3. wii <-- wii's successor launched in 2011 effectively killing sales of the wii

2009 daveJ said: The wii will not break the 50% marketshare barrier it will go below the 40% marketshare barrier though in the future. VGChartz members: Impossible, youre an idiot that knows nothing about sales

Some is hoping for "decent" Vita numbers. Here's the reply:

"Hoo, boy, you picked a bad month to hope for that. "Decent" is a word that's not even in the same universe as this month's sales numbers."
