Hardware:

Nintendo DS: Best selling platform.
Xbox 360: 277K (-37.5%) [Top selling console, 45% of total 360/PS3/Wii sales.]
Wii: 190K (-25%)
PS3: 148k (-31%) [Comes from statement math.]
Nintendo 3DS: Lower weekly average than last month, meaning at best 114K, but it could be quite a bit lower.

The 3DS + the DS is about flat to the DS total last year.
Jul-10 -> Aug-10 transition:

Code:
      Jul-10  Aug-10   % change
360     444K    357K   - 20%
NDS     398K    343K   - 14%
PS3     214K    226K   +  6%
WII     254K    244K   -  4%

As much as I'm interested in the console numbers, I'm wayyy more curious about the software.

I reallllllly hope Deus Ex sells well. :-/

Though 4 days isn't alot of time to build up sales, it should at least chart right?
Right!!!?
 
3DS is only interesting number this month. Everything else will most likely be very similar.

I'm guessing 400k.

I had zero Streetpasses from May to price drop... since then I've had ~10.

Isnt 0.5mln a bit much? I believe that is 0.1mln more than it did at launch?

After seeing how well it did in Japan after the price drop (196K in a week), 500K would not be be totally out of the blue. Though I am revising it to 450K after thinking about it some more.

This is not Japan, people in the US are not that buy-crazy when a pricedrop happens.
