Don't forget to use the proper format when posting predictions.

Post formatting guidelines for the parser...

List numeric values following system tags on their own lines in a post. All non-numeric characters following the tag will be stripped out, save for the first instance of the letter K in either upper or lower-case, which will be replaced with 3 zeroes. Make predictions by the set deadline, at which point the parser will be run. If a given poster has more than one post with predictions, guesses in subsequent posts will override previous guesses. By the same token, subsequent guesses on the same system within a given post will overwrite previous guesses.

Some examples of valid input follow, but do at least keep them readable for your fellow forum-goers.

PS Three - 123KK
Weeeeee ~ one hundred twenty-three thousand kajillion units!!!1lol
...

Any lines without valid input, i.e. your comments, will be ignored. Questions, comments?

Use integers only so no decimal points. Also, put any software predictions into "quote" tags so they won't be mistaken as hardware predictions.

August NPD storylines:

* How much did the 360 increase with the price drop?
* How has the PS3 done in its second month after the 60GB price drop?
* Can EA reclaim the top publisher ranking with Madden and Tiger Woods launching in August?

Spoiler

Answer: Yes

* Bioshock vs. Metroid Prime 3: The grudge match that only exists in some hardcore gamers' minds.
* Can DS top Wii this month?
* Brain Age 2: Walking speed or rocket ship?
* PSP: Running out of stock before PSP Slim launch in September?


sonycowboy rescinded the ban on pictures in last month's NPD thread, so pictures will be back in this month's NPD thread.

[titiklabingapat]

[NDS] 410k - usual
[Wii] 350k - Amazon shipments were lower than August's
[360] 260k - finally outsold the Ps2. for one month at the very least
[PS2] 200k - dying
[PSP] 150k - PSP lite anticipation
[PS3] 125k - Price cut effects will not last long
[GBA] 80k - waiting for a chance to pounce on the PS3 again


software predictions:

Madden: 360 will win, Wii worse selling if you exclude the DS/PSP/last gen machines
Bioshock: 500k
Metroid Prime 3: 300K, better legs than Bioshock
Blue Dragon: 120k, bomba for all the time and effort they put into this thing
Brain Age 2: 200k but will exhibit massive legs
Warhawk: 80K, most will download it
Lair: 50k, bomba of epic propotions
Tiger Woods: 360 wins again, then Wii. Wii version will sport better legs and end up outselling, or come very close to 360 totals.
Boogie: bomba, but will not sting as muhc as Lair.
Carnival Games: 120K, the come out of nowhere game of the month
