PSP vs DS: PSP outsells DS. And I can understand why. Software line-up is strong. Hardware is terrific. UMD movies for the win! etc etc Me, personally, I love Nintendogs and I can see why it would propell the DS the next time the NPD shows up.
Madden: It'll still sell, there's no surprise to this.
Nintendogs: If Nintendo doesn't fuck up, this could be a phenomena of sorts. And yeah, in 3 stores over here at Hialeah (Walmart/Ebgames/Gamestop), the pups are all sold out. I was like: "...wow."
Advance Wars: This will be a BIG seller by the end of the year, it'll convince folks to buy the DS. This game is so excellent. Jake should die.
NCAA: I hear that Madden is superior to NCAA, no? Anyhow, NCAA sales should be brisk until the end of the year, and then it'll rapidly fall off by Feb/March of the next year.
PS2 vs GBA: This should be kinda, irrelevant. Both machines will sell. I do think PS2 outsold GBA again for the month, but we'll see. What releases were there for GBA?
Xbox: It'll have nice sales, but not as good of sales as last year (remember beating PS2 in some months and etc?)
GCN: It'll probably surpass 100k but no more than that. Sadly, the system is more or less dead. Nintendo fucked up this generation with GCN in many ways. Hey, I love the system, and contrary to most opinions out there, I thought Nintendo develiered good games on their front. But still, they fucked up mostly but some stuff were out of their hands.
Other big games? Not that I can remember really. I mostly follow the Nintendo side of things and sparing PS2/Xbox (doesn't mean I'm just super all pro-Nintendo, it's just a habit.
) I don't see most games selling except for Madden/Nintendogs/NCAA/Advance Wars.Speaking of DS/PSP... it would'nt surprise me if by the end of the year if PSP outsells DS... but it also would'nt surprise me if the DS outsells the PSP by the end of the year.
But essentially, who cares. Both have great line-ups in the fall.

If the GCN makes it anywhere near 100,000, it'd be a long way from dead...
as it is, I'm predicting around 50,000-75,000, probably somewhere in the middle...
if it gets to the 10,000-50,000 level on a continual basis, it will definitely be heading towards "dead", but as it is, Nintendo vast Player's Choice lineup and upcoming Mario games should provide them plenty of profit even with under 100,000 monthly hardware sales...

Where da numbers at?
JavyOO7 said:
Nothing big, but that's never made a difference before with GBA selling huge quantities.
If there is going to be a ranking on who was closest on total hardware numbers (all 6 systems), currently only 2 people would qualify. Anyone else interested in guessing hardware numbers? They'll probably come out tomorrow or early next week.

Damn, Pokemon Emerald is still burning up the place.
Is it selling so well because its a standalone, not a double-color release, thus getting all the Poke-market, ya think?

Nice numbers for Nintendogs and Advance Wars! When was Death JR released?
Both software totals were lower than I expected(another ~23% less software sales for PSP + a bit lower sales from Nintendogs and Advance Wars then predicted, although they are both good).
210k for the shortened week is good. Incidentally, didn't Guybrush's numbers only add up to 220k rather than 250k?
We want hardware though. We're told 100k for the DS is a reasonable estimate, but the real story is the PSP and where it's at. I expect higher sales than the DS of course, but the information that was given showed that the DS outsold it rather confortably during the last week with Nintendogs, which might be a sign of what to expect. Either way, we'll see.
Consoles? Same ol, same ol, move along everyone.

@jman PSP will probably about 160-170k and DS probably slightly above 100k.
It will be very interesting to see how well Nintendogs and the DS do in the next month. Perhaps another 300k Nintendogs(5 weeks month) and ~150-200k DS'(AFAIK it has quite much new releases + Nintendogs of course ).
@donny The DS userbase is 1.89m + the July numbers(probably about 80k).

Culex said:Not this month, but it will be the closest since the PSP launched, for sure.Wario64 said:looks like the DS will beat the PSP this time
Yep. September gives the DS a fighting chance, though, depending on how much Madden PSP pushes hardware sales and how much Nintendogs+price drop continues to push DS sales.
From PGC's release list, Tak DS, Ultimate Spider-Man DS, Trace Memory, Lunar: Dragon Song, and Lost in Blue would probably be the most anticipated new releases for the DS in September. However, 5 more weeks of Nintendogs sales+price drop will probably push hardware sales more than all of those.
For the PSP, Madden PSP comes out in September. I don't know the release date of Burnout Legends PSP, but with it already going gold, it may come out in September, too. Madden, especially, should push PSP sales in September.
Edit:
\/\/\/ Thanks, kaching!

Nintendogs appears to be a nationwide sellout, with virtually no stock for most of this month. EB employee claim that they've received an internal email that states that they don't expect to get any more Nintendogs in until the week of Sept 19th.
That will probably hurt the DS and Nintendogs sales if it's true for most stores.

Madden will be the first software to push PSP's since launch. I don't think Burnout will sell systems and it may not even do as well as Midnight Club 3, which is a relatively big seller on all systems.

I think retailers are to blame here. Nintendo can't ship what stores don't buy and final "Day 1" orders for the game were made well over a month ago. Very few preorders for the game were made and retailers knew that it was big in Japan, but possibly thought it may not transition well to the US and thought DS sales overall were too low and didn't want to get caught with excess stock.
But, now, it seems like Nintendo doesn't have the stock ready for subsequent shipments.

True. And I'm similarly unconvinced that it will push PSP HW. But, it has the best chance of any game yet.

OUCH OUCH OUCH at Madden numbers
August 2004, Total Madden sales 2,130,738 (PS2/CE, XBX, GC)
August 2005, Total Madden sales 2,224,984 (PS2, XBX, GC)
A whopping increase of 94,246 units. Hey EA, was it worth taking NFL exclusive license???
Izzy said:
I was under the impression that it was coming out earlier in the month, but I haven't kept up on its release date. If it is planned to be released when you say, I agree that it would probably be "too late in the month to significantly influence hardware sales."
With Madden PSP coming out at the end of September and GTA:LCS coming out at the beginning of October (right?), October PSP sales should be quite high.
