Well I try.  It's looking like what we might see is that PS3 may never go below 200k fort the rest of the year.  That would be quite a feat considering where it was earlier this year.  I had expected PS3 to level off in the 180k-200k range but it's looking like it might level off in the 220k-240k range before holidays which is quite impressive.  It's really only this current week that we have to see if it'll hold because Uncharted 2 week and thereon should be pretty solid for PS3 the rest of the year.

Same goes for Wii.  I'm very surprised the price cut had that much of an affect.  I was expecting at the highest 250k range and then a progression upwards til the holiday season.  This is a very good thing for the Wii as it starts to get its big name properties that come out the rest of the year and that mass market appeal.  Wii could easily do 300k in this current week we are in especially with Wii Fit Plus out. 

I guess I'm just very surprised at how well some of these are holding up considering September usually isn't that big of a month.  But now that we are in October things are just going to start getting crazy.  I mean despite the lackluster sales at the beginning of the year, this is shaping up to be a pretty strong holiday season... possibly even as strong as last year considering Wii and 360 won't be supply constrained.  Will have a strong Wii, PS3, and 360 going into it along with new SKUs and pricepoints for DS and PSP (and the others of course too).  Then of course with games like Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Bros Wii, FF13 in Japan, Uncharted 2, etc... we might actually see this year end on a very strong note to carry into the massive software lineup that is 2010.  Going to be a fun holiday season.

The PS3 and PSP are doing great WOW, the PS3 is now over 25 million, nice, cogratz Sony!!!

  I was actually just joking, but seriously they could phase out the arcade and drop the elite to $249.99, although I don't think that would really help their sales that much

Why would we hope that? I mean it's not like it will change my life or my gaming behavior...

Ouch, so 360 dead last the entire holiday season then? Even behind PSP?

O_o Xbox is domed in japan, seriously, only 3 thousand?

I didn't say it was dead, I said it was going to be dead last (ie. behind all consoles AND handhelds) in sales this holiday.

wow excellent post & not a hahaha in site!

If there's 1 thing i have learned in this Gen it's to never count MS out. There the Little Big Engine that could, and as soon as you think there down, there right back in the front lines selling with the best of em with a PR quote telling everyone about it.

Wii -- GREAT Price Cut response.....I await trestres or someone to tell us what it was YOY 360 -- Very good its over 150K PSP -- good DS -- GODLY Sales.....I mean come one, it overshadows everything! 166,452 63,000 175,180 404,632 167,605 32,981 139,296 339,882 84,329 36,663 116,448 237,440 57,663 53,073 100,036 210,772 77,208 3,232 73,273 153,713 Wii is up about 42k units YOY which is about 15%. For them to meet projections they have to be up an average of 130-140k throughout the end of the fiscal year. It's a tough mountain to climb! PS3 seems like it's going to hover around 200-250k until November, then it should go up due to the holiday increase. X360 is being trampled! The one grain of hope they had was Halo ODST and it's sales dropped off a cliff this week. Other than that, everything else is multiplatform isn't it? The only big games they have are Left 4 Dead 2 and Forza Motorsport 3. Jeez! Microsoft is screwed!

Nah, they'll be fine. The 360 is holding up well, even if it's in last place this week, and it still sells great amounts of software. I mean, have you seen the pre-orders for Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360? The PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii will be going strong this holiday season.
