You guys are still over estimating the PS2.

It didn't pull 500k+ numbers last year, why would it this year?

Didn't it? The number I see in a text file (saved from a GAF post of NPD numbers through May 2006) is 531,000, though that clearly isn't entirely accurate. Beside that, considering PS2 has done better than X360 for most of the past year, a prediction like "500K X360, 400K PS2" would seem out of place.

Just a reminder:

There are 9 systems to predict for this month! Only a few posters have predicted for all nine. If you've already made a prediction, go back and count the number of systems you posted. If you don't have nine, figure out what you skipped and add it in.

PS3 - 240k
PS2 - 490k
PSP - 385k

360 - 600k
XBX - 14k

WII - 510k
NDS - 900k
GBA - 370k
GCN - 60k

Commentary: A little bullish on the 360. I think Gears plus PS3 shortages will move hardware. I'm basing my Wii projection on the 600k sold estimate from Nintendo, backing out Canada. (Their date range was within a day or so of NPD.) PS2 is trending slightly behind last year, but not much. PS3 is based off EA's commentary.

A couple of software for the heck of it:

Gears of War: 900k
Zelda: 370k

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Xbox and Gamecube routinely hit close to a million during November in their heydays (2002-2004)?

Here's a correction because you are wrong.

Routinely half a mil for November (700K for Halo 2 in 2004), routinely a million for Xbox in December.

Unless you work nights, you should have taken Friday off. The NPD stuff usually starts Thursday evening.

So after this Christmas, Xbox will have won 3 Christmases (vs. GCN) and GameCube will have won 3 Christmases (vs. XBX) in the U.S. :lol

I'd love to see someone figure out the accumulative AVERAGE from these prediction threads and see how close it is to the real deal.

So, tell me. At what point in your schooling will they teach addition, subtraction, and division?

You haven't been paying attention to the sales for those two consoles over the last year, have you? Xbox averaged < 1K per week in October, whereas the GameCube has been around 40K per month for the last three months.

Fuel To The Fire

In its monthly report analyst Arcadia Investment says console sales in November topped 3.2 million units. Next-Gen has exclusive details of the report’s highlights including platform break-downs.
Arcadia says hardware sales increased by at least 50% year on year, with software up about 20%. Retail dollars increased by about 25-30% to about $1.6 billion, compared to $1.3 billion in November 2005.

Xbox 360 unit sales topped a minimum of 500K units in the month, probably more, with 200K in Black Friday week. Retailers attributed the increase to strong sales of Gears of War and “chronic press coverage” of supply constraints on PS3. Microsoft is now on track to sell through about 4.25 million units in the US in calendar 2006 with an installed base of around 5 million units.

As is well known, available quantity of PS3 was probably less than 150K units at launch, with a further 50K creeping into the channel in November. The low tie ratio for PS3 is blamed on eBay resale speculation with some retailers reporting less than 0.5 software units per hardware unit. Arcadia says a 600K total sell through for the year is reasonable.

The analyst bases its numbers on retail surveys, although these are less definitive than NPD’s numbers, due out later this week. It says Wii sold about 500K in unit sales in November with a tie ratio of about 2X,. Zelda attached at a 75% or better rate. The report says that Nintendo remains on track to deliver about 1.3 million units to retail shelves by year end.

PS2 sales topped 500K units, driven by the $129 price point and Guitar Hero 2. PS2 is on track to hit about 4.7 million units in CY 06, which would bring the US total to about 36.5 million by year end. At this point it's not clear if Xbox 360 beat PS2 for the month.

Among the handhelds, DS unit sales topped 600K units, putting it on track to exceed 4.5 million by year end and 8.3 million cumulative. PSP unit sales approximated 350K units, similar to last year’s. PSP is on track to sell about 2.9 million units during the year, driving the installed base to about 6.5 million units. GBA sold 500K in November, which should bring the year end total to approximately 3.1 million units and the cumulative to 35 million.
