I'm just going out on a limb for some of these now. I've been pretty off on others recently that weren't the Nintendo products.

I was gonna ask what the oct - nov changeover for 2010 was just for curiosity sakes, the Sept to Oct, makes it seem like people stopped buying hardware in preparation for the holiday.

September is 5 weeks though so that probably accounts for the drop

Erethian · Oct 30, 2011

Surprised at a few of the Wii predictions considering it's a four week month and the Wii sold more in the first three weeks than it did last year for the corresponding period.

Unless people missed that bit at the bottom of donny's post.

Shh!, I might climb back up in the ranking, if more people format their entries in this fashion.

i don't think 3DS will get a real pickup until nov/dec when it gets its heavy hitters.

we don't have SW prediction, do we? Next month's Dance Central performance is particularly interesting to me.

btw, is it ok to revise predictions?

Battlefield 3 is going to dominate the software charts.

With only 5 days of sales being tracked I wouldn't expect Dance Central 2 to chart in the multi-SKU NPD Top 10. Everyone was too busy playing Battlefield 3 to notice its release.

The "evil site" has it tracking ahead of Kinect Sports: Season Two for what it's worth. I think it'll do fine so Harmonix won't be filing for bankruptcy just yet.

Yeah. Predictions don't get collected until the cutoff time, so they can be revised any point before that.

Definitely, but:

I also think it will be doing pretty good in the USA for at least November.

Yeah. Predictions don't get collected until the cutoff time, so they can be revised any point before that.

thx!

Notes:

Really odd writing down an NDS figure that low.
I'm going with NDS + 3DS = constant to last year, as my general rule, for the time being. We'll see if it pans out again this month.
Can the Wii really eke out a win over last October? I guess, but seems weird. Not sure how else to take their statements to investors.
I felt like I did ok on units last month, but the ordering score killed me. Hoping for better this month.
