Pachter: US Wii broke 1 million in November, PS3 up 85%
Wedbush Morgan’s issued his sales estimates for November, predicting that Wii managed to keep its head about 1 million in the US last month.
“We estimate sell-through of 1,050,000 Wii hardware units (down 49% from last year), 650,000 Xbox 360 (down 22% from last year), and 700,000 PS3 consoles (up 85% year over year),” said the analyst.
Modern Warfare 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassin’s Creed II will lead the software pack, Pachter said.
Not likely to be any argument there. The NPD releases this Thursday.

I really wish that the Mario Game got more media attention. It is an amazingly fun game to play. Insanely fun with four players. This one game validated our Wii purchase more then anything else.

If these numbers are true, I can see Sony’s NPD response right now…

That’s why Greenturd kept his gob shut after Black Friday, he wasn’t very forthcoming with the figures. He won’t be able to spin the Y.O.Y. growth BS this time…

I think you misunderstood what they meant by year on year growth sennasnit. If they sell anything above 450k in November they’ll still be able to talk about year on year growth as up until October we’ve had the following figures:
Jan – Oct 08: 2.24m
Jan – Oct 09: 2.64m
So assuming 500k in November this year for the 360 we would see something like this:
Jan – Nov 08: 3.08m
Jan – Nov 09: 3.14m
As of this point, it’s only the 360 and the DS which have sold more this year than last… though the PS3 is pretty much guaranteed to join them in November (only needs to sell 550k or more).

On a different note… here’s my predictions for the month.
NDS – 1752k
Wii – 1191k
PS3 – 858k
360 – 697k
PSP – 311k
PS2 – 179k
It appears that I think the PS3 will do far better than Pachter does.
