So accordning to VGC numbers it's
PS3 430K
X360 350K
Wii 395K

And in Aug 25 according to Slimebeast predicts: NPD and remaining PS3 & X360 sales 2009

Slimebeast said:

I want to put my prediction on record so I can later rightfully claim that I'm the perdiction king on VGC.

Now to the formal predictions:

- NPD USA September will have the PS3 at 390,000 units. X360 around 300,000.

You can quote me on this.

PlayStation 2 146.0K
PlayStation 3 491.8K
PSP 190.4K
Xbox 360 352.6K
Wii 462.8K
Nintendo DS 524.2K

Yeah, but my predictions were made before any week or month of Slim sales data had arriwed:

"We've only known it for a couple of weeks that the PS3 Slim will be introduced at $299"

Had I refreshed my prediction, knowing August NPD and stuff I would have nailed this month.

don't listen to the haters, your prediction wasn't that bad.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Leo J thats my point...3 days at $199 pushed Wii from 69k in August to 93k in September. A price cut over 3/35ths of the period lifted the weekly average rate for the entire month by 30%+

The DS is going to destroy everything this holiday, just like every holiday.

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

PSP is pathetic I think. It's a walking dead platform in North America.

ps3 a beast !!

I hope this is easier to read.

wow, Beatles Rockband on X360 actually outsold the Wii version by 50k. VGC had it 20k in the favour of the Wii.

PS3 Batman AA RULES

also why does it say SQUARE-ENIX there?

Darth you are no longer a knowledgable gamer on vgchartz, if you didn't know by now that eidos is owned by square enix.

Well you said PSP GO did nothing when it comes out on OCt 1....LOL!

besides I didn't know eidos made Batman:AA

@leo-j

I know, I just didn't understand why acevil thought it came out in september!

All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

People need to remember too this is the first holiday season for the DSi in the West. And the DS Lite is still also very popular.
