"EEDAR’s made its August hardware estimates pitching Wii and DS clear of a cumulative 1 million units and PS3 ahead of 360.

DS - 551,000
Wii - 505,000
PSP - 211,000
PS3 - 201,000
360 - 187,000

That Wii figure’s worth watching. EEDAR’s put a note in its press release saying the machine may sell well under 500,000 units due to channel-throttling in advance of Christmas."

Seems like a pretty bold prediction, putting PS3 ahead of 360 with Madden launching that month.
Thoughts?

I can't wait for NPD now.

a close race between the 360 and ps3 ps3 wins by 14000 not a bad margin

According to VGchartz: 9-30 August =

Wii: 433,391

PS3: 252,105

X360: 204,091

So the PS3 in front of the X360 is quite normal. Don't see why madden would've changed that.

Interesting to see how close EEDAR are. They've been putting out a lot of claims about how accurate they are. Good to see they've put their money where their mouth is. Personally I think they'll be quite close. DS does seem quite low though, even if it is the quitest time of the year.

So personally, I'll go with all of that except DS, think it will be 100k higher.

I think VGC seems low on Wii this month, if it's under 450k then I will have to give lots of "mad props" to ioi though.
