I forget what happened in August. Was this the month of Vita & PS3 price cut?

Like Augen, I'm looking forward to hopefully hearing about Xillia & Dragon's Crown's sales. I expect both overtracked.

I expect weakness. Possibly good month for 3DS.

Is this month 4 or 5 weeks?
I'm not expecting good 3DS sales.
Wii U between abysmal and non-existent numbers.

August ending on a Saturday, so 5 weeks

Thanks. All pray for Pikmin 3.

Do you fear for the worse? I mean, overtracked?

I haven't checked VGChartz' estimates but they're totally going to be overtracked. I fear it will be "No mention of Pikmin 3 or Wii U HW in Nintendo PR" bad, perhaps even "No Nintendo PR at all" bad.

We share the same sentiment

Pikmin 3 should actually have decent sales, all relative to the Wii U's userbase of course. Early estimates place it at 185k which is great for only 1.3 million US Wii U's sold lol

Mario Dream Team should be at 120k.

3DS should be the best selling console on the market as well.

Do you think the PSV is going to rise with it's new price-cut in early august?

August is a four weeks month.

The five weeks months are always the last in any given quarter, so March, June, September and December. Also, every few years NPD adds a fifth week to January, because 52 weeks equate 364 days, so eventually there are enough excess days to make it necessary to have a longer reporting period for the month of January.

I see, thanks.

It could be a potential disaster, then, if it's only 4 weeks. Let's see how much Pikmin did for the console and for itself.
