Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter has just posted his hardware sales estimates for August. And here they are:

Wii - 550,000
PS3 - 225,000
360 - 200,000

The analyst is predicting sales of $600 million, up 23 percent compared to last year’s $489 million.

EEDAR also put out its estimates today, as you can see here.

The firms are almost agreed on the Wii figure, but Iron Mike’s a fair amount up on both PS3 and 360.

NPD data will release on September 11, this Thursday.

He was wrong last month.

Wonder will he be right this time?

i think the ps3 will beat the 360, i'm only confident about it because people were probably waiting for the price drop for the 360, so held back. september should swing microsoft's way.
