August 2014 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes September 9th

[PS4] 188k (-2k)
[XB1] 150k (-10k)
[3DS] 100k (+9k)
[WIU] 70k (+11k)
[360] 55k (+6k)
[PS3] 33k (+6k)

probably will edit this

units off: ~44k
points (top 10 unit bonus not included if I got it): 102.64

P.S. 360 still counting for points is such a drag at this point

Was expecting price cuts to keep it higher, but, yeah, it's not good to have such a low-selling system in points. For next year, may just limit it to PS4/XB1/3DS. Don't want to have just three systems, but those are the only things selling consistently 100K or higher!

NeoGAF Aggregate Predictions - Aug-2014

1. PS4 - 187K
2. XB1 - 140K
3. 3DS - 100K
4. WIU - 70K
5. 360 - 50K
6. PS3 - 31K

xbox sales increasing? microsofts bundles must be working a treat.

I dunno is it possible to weigh PS4/XB1 predictions more? cause I think even 3DS is gonna drop next year, and having just 2 systems is.....yeah

also are we rounding to the nearest thousand for official prediction numbers, or not

seems i was off about 38k for the month. the ps4 and xb1 were higher than i expected. the 360 just a tad lower, the 3ds just a tad higher, and the wii u and ps3 dead-on.

oh wow, we're exactly tied in units if we use 59.5k Wii U, 49k 360, and 27k PS3

*grabs popcorn*

and I beat you in points huehuehue

3DS will get a good boost from n3DS, I think. Nintendo's always done good getting people to rebuy their handheld systems. Probably adds into why the tie ratio is usually lower than consoles. :p

Will probably use the ##.#K numbers from the NPD thread, at this point. They're so low, that the extra few hundred could make a difference. For something like Nov/Dec, probably wouldn't go that far, unless we were sure of the decimal part, though.

Had to go back and update the XB1 value to use based on your last post, so that modified things slightly.
 
Misses top ten by one spot...

edit. Oh in points I am in top ten

post-22595-leonardo-dicaprio-YES-gif-YEAH-SQDH.gif
 
If I would have left my XB1 prediction alone, I could have got 2nd place this month (in units at least). Oh well. I'll settle for top 10 :p

Well dang - I'm out of the top 10 for the year. I need to quit being overly pessimistic.

Next month should be pretty tough to figure out.
