GAF won't be down, BELIEVE!

:(

During the mayhem that is E3 discussion, maybe the thread can be bumped once an hour or something.

Important reminder. The odds of GAF being inaccessible the entire Monday, even before the Microsoft conference are very, very high.

For all practical intents and purposes the deadline is Sunday. =P

As Road said, the deadline is on E3 "Madness" Day 1, so may want to get the predictions in earlier instead of later...

[360] 103,000
[3DS] 97,000
[PS3] 78,000
[PSV] 15,000
[WIU] 31,000

I'm tempted to predict that 3DS will be the top-selling system of the month.

[360] 113k
[3DS] 92k
[PS3] 93k
[PSV] 9k
[WIU] 29k

Yeah I think this is the month Vita goes below 10k a feat I don't think anything has accomplished outside of something discontinued or a successor out

Looks like the deciding factor this month will be who got 3DS and 360 ordering correct. :)

Best of luck, everyone.

About an hour to go. I'm on holiday, technically, but if I see stuff and I'm actually at a computer, I'll post it.

Lowest I have a record for is $286mm in May 2006. So below that. (The figure I have for May 2005 is higher.)

This is going to be bad. Epic kinds of bad. And with last year's comp numbers, are we talking -35% or worse? This will be interesting to watch.

Two copies sold? That's not a bomb guys, stop trolling!!!
I'm wondering how much truth is in Iwata's recent words...

For your information, the launches of “Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon” and “Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity” in late March improved the situation for Nintendo 3DS in the U.S.
The successive releases of other much-anticipated titles since then have more than doubled total first-party software sales counting from April compared to last year. Thanks to the revitalized Nintendo 3DS software market, the sales pace of the hardware has also showed a year-on-year increase since April in spite of a sharp decrease in the size of the entire U.S. video game market.

Shouldn't this mean 3DS sales will be higher than last year's May?
