Pachter: Wii sold more than double PlayStation 3 numbers for August |
Ó
Ahead of the NPD data once again is everyone's favorite video game analyst, Michael Pachter. As usual, Pachter pegs the Wii to be the clear winner for last month.Despite supply constraints for the Wii. (will there ever come a time when there isn't?), Pachter believes that the Nintendo console will still sell more than double than the PlayStation 3.
On the other hand, he also predicts that the PS3 will sell more than the Xbox 360, though he may change his tune next month when the 360's price cut will start to show in sales. He does note though, that he expects Wii sales to surge by 300k next month.
Here's what he believes sales will look like for August when NPD releases their data. He tied both the DS and Wii, and the Xbox 360 and the PSP. Looks like someone's getting less imaginative. These are only estimates of course, but we'll see how accurate they are when the actual data is released tomorrow.
- DS: 550,000
- Wii, 550,000
- PS3: 225,000
- Xbox 360: 200,000
- PSP: 200,000

Is this guy ever right?
not too surprising since the wii is 1/3 the price of a ps3
"he expects that the biggest games for August are Madden NFL 09, Too Human, Mario Super Sluggers, Soul Calibur IV, Wii Fit, and Mario Kart Wii."
Oh wow, he's really taking a chance there. Who would have thought picking the big sellers are going to do good?
As far as I can remember hes been wrong with everyone of his predictions and he always gives PS3 way more credit than it deserves. I don't know why X3F keeps posting this fools thoughts. Its really getting annoying to hear his bias BS opinions he pulled out of his arse. This guy wouldn't know trends if it straight up smacked him in the face. Please X3F, No more Michael Patcher!
Oops my bad thought i was on a different site. Please QJ.Net please stop posting this fools thoughts >_>
I wish somebody fire this guy.
Hes been wrong the whole time.
