if 360 is above, i think it was 410, then oddyseus is banned for a month.

[Jiggy]

so raise your hand if you will enjoy NPD this month more than any game released this month.

If the month you're talking about is September, then... well, there were Neutopia II and Landstalker, but I guess those are technically old games.
If you mean enjoying September NPD more than October games, no.

I did good with this last month.

Spoiler

price is right has never let me down

 

[titiklabingapat]

[WII] 551,567 - 5 week month. Might surprise everyone. The might of Halo cannot overcome the power of waggle, touching and non-gamers.
[NDS] 474,129 - the usual.
[360] 387,942 - Halo 3 and some price cut residue.
[PSP] 365,118 - might surprise everyone a bit.
[PS2] 247,561 - slowing down slowly but surely.
[PS3] 132,438 - they're done.
[GBA] 85,055 - hemorrhaging faster than PS2 and on it's way to oblivion.





Reports of never before seen Wii supply coming in, it's obvious that Nintendo flooded the channel to take some wind off of Halo 3. Never dipped below the Amazon top 5 for most of the entire reporting period, even with Halo 3 slaughtering everyone else. Was even number one immediately after Halo 3 launched. Usually had a (approximately)two week cycle of being in the top 5 for two a week then back down to the top 10 the next. Alot of it's accessories also showed the same resurgence.

Price cut effects waning down on the the 360 but Halo 3 should tide the bleeding.

Price Drop + Halo 3 + 5 week NPD period = greater than 500k in sales.

It sold 280k last month which was a 4 week period. So I think with the extra week plus Halo it should see a nice sized bump easily hitting 500k+.

Edit: Also, wasn't the Halo 3 console released this month?

10. [Wii] Mario Party 8 - 155k

software sales up big time. boosted mostly with Halo 3 sales, though other sales are increased due to early holiday shoppers. Wii sales up due to increase in supply to ramp up for the holiday season and to help counter Halo 3 sales. sales spurned by solid sales of brain age 2 and Phantom Hourglass, not to mention a separate SKU for the crimson/black color, bring the DS back to the top. 360 system sales also spurned by insane Halo sales and the prospect of the limited Halo edition 360 increase 360 sales significantly, but not enough to catch DS and Wii pre-holiday season sales.

in specific software sales, Metroid sees a very good month due to positive impressions and Wii consumer curiosity (expanded audience). 360 Madden and Bioshock sales see sharp drop during run-up to the launch of Halo 3, perhaps even further than i'm predicting. Phantom hourglass gets excellent numbers for the short time it's time on the list for the same reason as Metroid's successes. Brain Age 2 sees a larger resurgence for early holiday shoppers.

thats my story and i'm sticking to it.

Flash Focus release date is October 15, this is for September dude. Also it won't hit 500k, non games don't debut at high numbers. Oh and how is MP3 going to hit 500k when it debuted at 218k last month? There's following your gut and there's blind predictions, I think yours falls within the latter.

If you predicted that Wii is up due to increased supply, shouldn't your figures be over 500k because September is a 5 week month?

 

[Absinthe (Permed)]

Five week month? The Wii has a legitimate shot of hitting at or near 600,000.
