Time for some graphs and comments on the latest sales figures, courtesy of NPD.
Direct link to Gamasutra article about September 2008 NPD.
Things of possible interest to sales-agers: estimated ASP for Xbox 360 in September ($275), updated LTD tie ratios, full top 20 (sans units for 11-20, but with Pachter helping bracket 11 - 18), and some comments on just what analysts are predicting for October.

As always, constructive criticism is welcome. If I made an error, kindly let me know and I'll get it fixed ASAP. (Will not be back for a few hours, so patience.) Thanks, guys.
(Side note: My column will be with Gamasutra for the foreseeable future. Folks here for a while may remember it started there in June 2007 with May 2007 NPD results. Later it moved to Next-Gen.biz, now known as Edge-Online. This is the first full NPD article back at Gamasutra, although I did two pieces for them on specific sales figures right after the August figures were released.)
