360 rules PS3, Wii up to 775,000 in October, says Pachter
Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter’s put out his October hardware estimates. Wii’s gone bonkers, apparently.
“We estimate sell-through of 775,000 Wii, 325,000 Xbox 360 and 225,000 PS3 consoles,” he said.
“Our console sell-through forecasts reflect our belief that supplies for Wii hardware increased again this month, with a portion of increased Wii production that started in July finally finding its way to retail in very late in September.
“Similarly, we believe that Xbox 360 demand increased after the September price cuts and October holiday bundles, with some market share gain likely over the PS3. We think that the delayed launch of Little Big Planet likely limited the impact of that game on hardware sales, but expect a spike in November.”
The EEDAR estimate are here. NPD figures will release later this week.

Also, considering the price difference between the consoles… the XBox “rulz” the PS3? This is just one of those things that makes me o.O, you need to factor in the price of each unit, here.

Yes, either add a Z or go for the more striking r0l3zorz.
In the real chart LBP is in 2nd place.

I reckon they’re all a bit on the high side… though it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if the Wii managed that. Hell, why not have it at over a million just for the fun of it.

Why do you need to factor in the price of the unit, Esha?

Because that makes the PS3 look better. Microsoft do it all the time. “Generated most net income over its lifespan” bla bla bla. Brainwashed people into thinking 5 expensive apples are more than 28 cheap oranges.

I love the attitude surrounding Microsoft on here. It’s hilarious. “Brainwashed people”?! lol
