Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian has made his predictions for September's sales data. He doesn't see a lot of promise for the Wii and the PlayStation 3 for last month's sales but has high hopes for the Xbox 360, predicting a huge rise in sales thanks to the release of Halo 3.

Sebastian believes that the Wii's supply constraints would have affected sales but it would still remain strong in the market. For the PS3 he believes that the console would not have likely picked up, and wouldn't until a price cut or a new SKU is introduced. He does, however, believe that sales would pick up for the holidays.

Microsoft recently reported that Halo 3's first week garnered US$ 300 million; Sebastian believes that most of this came from the U.S. Owing to this big bag 'o cash and the price cuts the Xbox 360 got for September, he believes that 360 software sales would have increased 30%.

Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter predicted last month that console sales for the Xbox 360 could rival the Wii's for September. Should both be accurate in their assessments (or even just one of them) it looks like September goes to the Xbox 360. The sales data for September is expected to be released next week.

i have already put in wireless routers in the last 2 days for 2 folk who bought ps3's, in the last 3 days, in a 2 mile radius!!!!

this must surely mean that the ps3 is picking up in the uk, as they said it themselves, it was because the ps3 came down in price!!!

this at least means we are on for a good october, so the analysists can go eat *****!!!
