Allow me to be bullish for Nintendo DS: 500,000+ cause it can Wii: 410,000+ because I think that they'll have ramped up production a bit by then. GBA: 150,000 As for Sony Ps2: 300,000+ as God of war should give it a boost psp: 150,000. no idea why Ps3: 170,000. slight boost from March games 360: 270,000

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.

You're going to be waiting a while... Data for March NPD covers March 3- March 31 since Feb covered Feb 3- March 3. The good thing is the NPD months are aligned again, so none of this crap like when January covered the last day of Dec, Jan, and a few days of Feb. Data is released two thursdays after the NPD period ends. Look for it on April 12, 2007. "The Wedbush Morgan report revealed that, through February 2007, U.S. cumulative hardware sales for Xbox 360 were 5.1 million units, Wii 1.9 million units, and PS3 1.1 million units" http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=13163 Wii - 350,000 (2.25 million through the 3/31) DS - 320,000 PS2 - 295,000 360 - 245,000 (5.345 million through 3/31) PSP - 210,000 GBA - 200,000 PS3 - 185,000 (1.285 million through 3/31) GC - 18,000 Xbox - 200 A couple expectations: - PS3 will get some help from Motorstorm. But, the question is how much - God of War 2 will be the best seller - Not a great month for software - Software has a couple wildcards...like SSX Blur, DDR 360 Top 20 software.. 1) God of War 2 (PS2) 1,100,000 (very impressive for releasing mid month) 2) Wii Play (Wii) 300,000 3) Crackdown (360) 280,000 4) Def Jam (360) 260,000 5) Tiger Woods (Wii) 245,000 6) MLB 2K7 (360) 230,000 7) Diddy Kong Racing (DS) 210,000 8) Guitar Hero 2 (PS2) 180,000 9) Gears of War (360) 145,000 10) Twilight Princess (Wii) 120,000 11) Motor Storm (PS3) 110,000 12) SSX Blur (Wii) 100,000 13) Lost Planet (360) 90,000 14) Nintendogs (DS) 80,000 15) New Super Mario Brothers (DS) 75,000 16) Sonic & The Secret Rings (Wii) 70,000 17) Resistance: Fall of Man (PS3) 60,000 18) Warioware: Smooth Moves (Wii) 50,000 19) Twilight Princess (GC) 40,000 20) Brain Age (DS) 35,000 Top 20: Wii - 6 360 - 5 DS - 4 PS2 - 2 PS3 - 2 GC - 1 GBA - 0 PSP - 0 Xbox - 0

I'm not going to pick numbers because it is (some what) arbitrary, but the ranking will go 1) PS2 / Wii (I think it will be close, either could take it) 3) Nintendo DS 4) XBox 360 5) PSP 6) PS3 (Motorstorm will provide enough of a sales boost to outsell the GBA) 7) GBA 8) Gamecube 9) XBox PS2/Wii will sell (roughly) twice as many systems as the XBox 360, and the XBox 360 will sell (roughly) 1.5 times as many systems as the PS3 ...



God of War 2 at only 1 million units is pretty low since it sold 1 million in pre-orders. That prediction would assume no sales from non-pre-orders. 150K for LOZ:TP? That would mean the game would have to grow in sales from the 130K in February. Why are you all predicting NBA Street Homecourt will drop off the charts? Instead of just posting predictions in a message board...why don't you guys play the video game prediction market? http://www.thesimexchange.com



I think mrstickball is the only one with a halfway decent nuber for god of war2 lol

I fly this flag in victory!

I just don't think they are shipping many more than a million by the end of March. The game will sell really well though.
