Pachter puts out Aug. 2011 NPD hardware/software estimates
PS3 - 240,000
360 - 275,000
Wii - 175,000
3DS - 135,000
DS - 235,000
Software sales - $284 million
"Despite a relatively easy comp of down 14%, we expect negative software sales growth to continue in August due to a late Madden launch (on August 30, three weeks after its customary release date due to the NFL lockout, and outside the close of the NPD retail calendar for August) and a very weak release slate. Madden sales totaled $115 million last year, so without the delay, our forecast calls for only a slightly down month." - Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter
