Forums - Sales - September 2026 VGChartz Estimates Thread

Ns1 sold 53.6k in row this month according to vgc , 10.72k weekly.
Amazing durability.
The most spectacular though is ps5 sales IN europe,which led it to have 1m+ IN September at that "age".
For me the member kyuu has given a very enlightening explanation about that.
Users stuck on ps4 finally migrating, since more and more major titles cease to release on it.

I made that question in another thread.

Repeating it to specific person who may knows.
Trunks, the upcoming Nintendo FY26-27Q2 will cover the 5 weeks of September or the for or rather be as of the final day of the quarter, 30th of September.
What the past indicates, q bit lazy to check that too. 😵‍💫

I'm not exactly sure what yo are asking. Companies earnings reports cover specific months so the latest one will cover July 1 to September 30. This does mean our estimates will include an extra 3 days in October compared to the earnings reports.

It's nice to have it all in 1 thread like this, and easily readable (the layout and formatting).
Thanks for all the work and effort it took to do this Trunkswd.

All the monthly articles related to this are posted in this threads. While the comparison articles (ie. NS2 v NS1) are posted in another thread. Been doing this for years.

Your reply shows you fathomed what i asked.

Nice, Thanks, trunks. 

3 days doesn't make such a great difference.

446k sales then IN vgc vs.... Shipments?

At least 446k? Less according to a theory that there is a contigent of reducing stock (mostly in europe) or  that there is sufficient, so shipping less. 

It sould be 500k and maybe 530k,which will bring the Shipments tally to 157.12.

Provided that  sales were 597k and Shipments 672k last time.
