American sales: PS3 beat 360 in August, says Pachter

Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter has jut posted his hardware sales estimates for August. And here they are:

  • Wii – 550,000
  • PS3 – 225,000
  • 360 – 200,000

The analyst is predicting sales of $600 million, up 23 percent compared to last year’s $489 million.

EEDAR also put out its estimates today, as you can see here.

The firms are almost agreed on the Wii figure, but Iron Mike’s a fair amount up on both PS3 and 360.

NPD data will release on September 11, this Thursday.

    These cards are on the table then!

    Deal.

    But I will be more than prepared to admit that now. Raise the stakes on my side to make it fair.

    EDIT: For someone who said they’d shutup you’re doing an awful job.

    Let me just reiterate you can both halt this arguing till Thursday when someone will revive this comment section so either Psycho or I can eat humble pie.

    No_PUD: No, that’ll be fine. You can embellish it however you want when the time comes. The time will come.

    @No_PUDding,

    Which explains my final sentence last post, genius.

  4. No_PUDding said:

    You aren’t confident in it I see….

    I never claimed the game will be bad becuase of the development. I just said it wasn’t inspired; rather tacked-on and that means I have little faith.

    Make me eat more pie when it’s hailed X+ on Metacritic.

    EDIT: Revolution Blues, don’t act all high and mighty when you clearly descended to his level. You are the genius here, for proving to me, you do very easily get confused and go back on your points monumentally.

    Always remember this.

    My favorite true statement of all time :)

    It’s ok, my missus is in work. :D

    Hahah, saved.

    Looks like someone is spying on me.

    WHAT THE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU PUDDING?:

    “Revolution Blues, don’t act all high and mighty when you clearly descended to his level. You are the genius here, for proving to me, you do very easily get confused and go back on your points monumentally.”

    JESUS F*CKING CHRIST YOU IDIOT. Didn’t I already say that I have descended to his level? You accuse me of doing something I’ve already admitted to, and try to use it as an original attack! Are you a freaking remedial class idiot or something? Stop butting in to cheerlead Psycho, like the trailer park-living, hand-me-down-wearing, anonymous skinny kid at the edge of the gang trying desperately to fit in with the big boys, and missing the target completely. If you read my posts I didn’t go back on a SINGLE point – let alone “monumentally” as you hilariously claim – or prove anything of the sort to you, what I did do is CORRECT BACK TO MY ORIGINAL DATA ONCE TO *CONTINUE* TO SUPPORT A POINT I CONSISTENTLY MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT THE THREAD, i.e. the PS3 will struggle to catch the 360 in the US, if ever. Clearly, you must never ever have made a mistake doing anything in your life so you won’t know what it’s like to stand up, concede an error and move on…….what’s it like to be always right?

    And constantly repeating a claim without once substantiating it makes you look like spoilt little children.

    I’m off, closing my account. You are worse than the arrogant crank readers at ThreeSpeech. Someone disagrees with a long-standing member and he throws his toys out the pram and his pathetic hangers-on shout from behind him.

    I’ll leave you with a useful tip. Read a post in full, and ensure you actually understand it, BEFORE replying and throwing the accusations out. Will help you look less like a prick.

    Ta ta.

    I wouldn’t be so amused, but it’s not like No_PUD and I actually get on. I certainly wouldn’t call him a cheerleader given how many arguments we’ve had. Could it be, just possibly that you were incapable of articulating arguments compelling enough for people to actually agree with you?

    No matter. You resorted to insults, then you reacted with anger and now you’re closing your account.

    C’mon now RB, it’s just a random guy on the internets :)

  12. No_PUDding said:

    And if you read this revolution blues it’s all good until you threw your toys out the pram and turned into a prick (ironically). I hope you come back tomorrow with a ‘oh I was hungry’ or ‘I hadn’t had enoguh sleep’ statement. Becuase that was a damn melodramatic outburst at nothing.

    If you can’t admit you’re wrong gracefully then I guess it’s fine if you don’t show your face here again, but I know I can.

    Pachter sure knows how to rile people :)

    As for VGCHARTZ, I used to use the for the weekly Ps3, Wii and so on data. NEVER again will it have any meaning. The data is so off the mark its almost pretty much just anyone’s guess. :(

    Play fare and honest No_Pudding, he/she tried to say “lets agree to disagree and move on” and admitted a mistake long before you joined in but Psychotext wouldnt have any of it and was the one saying youre wrong wrong wrong so you give it up. Then you came along and claimed something he/she didnt do then you refused to withdraw the comment and admit you were wrong.

    Thing is he/she wasnt wrong. 360 is kicking the PS3s a$$ in the U.S. and *the PS3* (edited) is never going to catch up by the looks of it. As for the debate, well all three of you should shut the hell up. You aint no angels Pudding and Pyscho so dont act all innocent and trying to make it sound you were proved right in the end when no-one was.

    And Revolution, don’t be an a$$ and quit or youll never be able to survive on the internet.

  15. Psychotext said:

    You’re right, I’m no angel. I’m just as much of an arsehole as the rest of the internet. :)

    …and I still stand by my point that the only way you can say the 360 is beating the PS3 in the US is by completely ignoring the fact that the 360 has been out a year longer. Compare the 360 / PS3 at the same point after release and the PS3 is ahead.

  16. No_PUDding said:

    Bronco maybe you are just as bad as us by getting inolved and having an opinion.

    “360 is kicking the PS3s a$$ in the U.S.”

    Is that really an objective point? No, it’s not, there’s tons of different perspectives to say that statement is wrong and tons to support it.

    Anyway, I am a fucking angel and I am always right. :P

    Fin?
