Space reserved for September software predictions.

It looks like we may get to do some form of official software predictions this month. Details will come later.

just to confirm, but conversation without numbers is not welcome here, correct?

I think conversation on sales without numbers is fine. It's when non-public numbers start being posted that the problems arise.

If Sony do not drop the price,and add the 40 gig this month, we have to wait all the way to December to see the results ugggggggh.
 
Did these about a week ago, nothing much has happened to change my thoughts significantly thus far.

Wii: Some have said this is the best supply they've had all year. I'll assume this is so, but not by a huge amount over July's high of ~106K/week. So 108K/week * 5 weeks = 540K.

DS: September is usually a handheld increase, but not as much as the 25% of extra time would suggest. Since this August was down from July, I'll say September is a bounce back up to July numbers. 405K.

GBA: As I said above, September is usually slightly up from August... but GBA's continual downslide works against that. A slight decrease at 69K.

PS3: The effect of a price drop on a third place console drops pretty quickly, and to make matters worse for PS3 this month it's still neither Wii nor plays Halo 3. Down from ~33K/week to 27K/week. 27K * 5 = 135K.

PSP: Definitely there will be a reverse of the downward trend now that the Slim is released... but it doesn't seem to have been nearly as big a deal here as in Japan, without a Crisis Core. *shrug* I'll say double last month's weekly rate, so 151.2K / 4 * 2 * 5 = 378K.

PS2: As newer systems shine, PS2 continues to fall. 47K/week * 5 weeks = 235K.

X360: On the one hand things dip after a price cut... on the other hand Halo 3. I'll say that for the first three weeks sales were down 20% relative to last month, then doubled from that in the last two weeks. So .8x3 + 1.6x2 = 5.6 August weeks worth of sales. 276.7K / 4 * 5.6 = 387K

GCN: Just in case. 7K, about 1K down each month since we last saw it.

There'll be a big drop-off on Bioshock, and Stranglehold will tank. I'm calling it right now.
