And even i am moderately surprised
since we are playing this game i'll throw in my take.
i expect tears next month when the X360 outsells the PS3 by a "slim" margin, with the WIi still out in front.
Then the Wii TGS price drop announcement propels the Wii even further ahead, PS3 fans blame supply as the X360 continues to outsell the slim but both X360 and PS3 sales slump as the Wii picks up even more fence sitters.

I really think the ps3 will beat out the competition for september.
sept--->PS3--->360--->wii
oct (Wii price cut) Wii--->PS3--->360
Nov wii--->360--->PS3
Dec Wii-->PS3--->360
I think after september the 360 and ps3 will be neck and neck either one not winning by much.
The wii will have a price cut which will boost sales.
IF GT5 is announced for Dec, ps3 is neck and neck with the wii leaving the 360 behind.
In any case its going to be a great holiday season. The HD consoles will battle it out to a pretty even stalemate (NPD anyway).

Why would their be a Wii price-drop announcement at TGS? Don't Nintendo avoid that event?

I'm reading through this entire thread instead of playing Batman(360) that I picked up tonight.
I'm part of the problem.

To me that says more about the surprise that is Fossil Fighters rather than anything negative about MP.Cant0na said:
Really impressive software sales in the top 10 aside from relatively mediocre Madden numbers. WSR seems way about the number Nintendo released for the comparable time period, impressive for Batman and another surprise in Dissidia.
I suppose WSR sold a few more Wii units this month, PS3 had a much nicer month than I predicted, I think I forgot about the price drop prior to the Slim.
Has it been a while since a PSP and a DS game debuted in the top 10?
(hopefully I haven't missed any good discussion, browsing 600+ posts is a daunting idea)

this is the most logical.
:lol @ people saying ps3's gonna outsell both the 360 and Wii
ps3's gonna get a boost next month, and then everything goes back to the usual Wii-360-ps3. Wii is gonna have a huge holiday, dont underestimate the brand Nintendo has built up among the mainstream/holiday crowd

you guys seriously think nintendo cares about MS or Sony Price drop?:lol :lol :lol :lol
Cant0na said:
Not sure why the lol, Fossil Fighters got an incredible push at retail. There are stand up displays for it and Layton 2 at Walmarts nation wide. It appeals to the Pokemon and DS audiences
Metroid is essentially a Best-Of compilation of 3 games most core Nintendo fans already own and did not buy in great numbers the first time (Metroid games always sold over time, never big like say Gears of War or Halo)

Would you be willing to make a bet on this?
How about:
If total PS3 sales for October, November, December and January are higher than the Wii, I'll take a 3 month ban.
If not, you take a 3 month ban.

Some of the fanboys see their first opening in a year so they feel they have to get out all the pent up abuse before reality sets in again.

The only way the 360 will outsell the PS3 next month is if:
There are massive PS3 shortages this month (not likely)
ODST pulls in the same kind of hardware bump that Halo 3 did (not likely)
A huge amount of the price drop sales for the PS3 took place after the announcement mid month in August (not likely)
MS has a price drop on the entry level arcade and throws in a bunch of games (not likely)
If PS3 *doesn't* outsell the 360 next month, then Sony has a whole host of new problems.

Agreed. The PS3 is very likely to outsell the 360 in September based on the price drop and the new model. Something would be very wrong if they didn't imo. What is yet to be determined is if this trend will continue in October, November, and December when sales of consoles skyrocket for the year in comparison to the other months. People buy differently in those three months and you have a different type of consumer buying. The price of the arcade unit along with bundling becomes much more valuable for Microsoft and the Wii becomes even more family friendly around that time.

Wii software sales are quite healthy though ... I was not expecting WSR to sell quite that much.
And Wii Fit + Mario Kart Wii are still in the top 10.
NSMB Wii + Wii Fit Plus + WSR I think will end up dominating Nov/Dec NPD. I suspect you could see those three games sweep the 1/2/3 software spots for both Nov/Dec.
Nintendo needs to acknowledge they're been hit by the recession in terms of hardware sales though and do something. Price cut or new bundles and hardware will surge again.

Fossil Fighters is a pretty decent RPG, but I never expected it to make the top 10...

Is there any rational person at this point who thinks ps3 won't outsell the 360 this month at the very least? Seems like a lot of arguing against theoretical M$ xbot fanboys who ... well, don't really seem to exist around here at least.

There is little to no chance that the 360 beat the ps3 next month. If the ps3 loses next month it will reveal a consumer trend that will, in the end, bring about the ps4 quicker. Like many peeps in here I dont consider the PS3 a failure. However, if they cannot pull off a win next month in NA its completely over.

It's a forgone conclusion Ps3 will beat Xbox 360 for sept. But will it beat out the Wii? I say yes, but by 30k or less.

I don't expect a price drop to do much for the Wii to be perfectly honest, and I also expect Wii to outsell the 360 and PS3 in Oct, Nov, Dec @ U$250 price point, why would they drop the price if they're still outselling the competition?
The PS3 couldn't even outsell the 360 in August when it was slashed by $100 for two of the four weeks and the 360 had nothing major going for it at all. I'd watch those wildly optimistic predictions for the PS3's success the rest of this year.
It will likely hop over the 360 and Wii in September. It should! They slashed 25% off the console's price and released a revamped model all in one shot. It should do 2x 360 and 1.5x Wii next month. If it doesn't, don't look for the PS3 to be ahead of either console the rest of the year.

I think Japan will get a Wii price cut.
But North America and Europe ... no. Perhaps a new bundle or SKU though (WSR + maybe an extra controller or something).
