 250k sounds probable, but ...

... only 400k in September?

I have a secret to tell you ...

I know, I know. I was being conservative. :D

Halo will be huge but honestly, I have no idea how huge. It could be 400k, it could be 600k. Shit, 800k wouldn't even really surprise me at this point.

I don't know, I think 300k is a little too ambitious for the month. I'd go 250k though.

I had the hardware number pegged at exactly 300,000 for 360.  I may be a bit high, but in my official, saved predictions with specific monthly numbers, I did have 360 beating PS3 in July, despite the 60 gig price drop.

Basically, I think Madden/Bioshock + first price point under $300 can equal a boost from 42k NPD USA weeks in July to 75k NPD USA weeks in August.  Not quite a 2x boost directly, but I think even at the previous price points, 360 would have done ~50-60k in August, meaning that to me, it is more like 25-50% boost vs. what I would have expected weekly sales to be because of the season...

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

I'll go for the 300k club.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I'm not quite on the bandwagon yet.

NPD US - 265k.
