It was crazy to think the Wii was going to outsell the DS last month, and this month sonycowboy expects it to outsell the DS by more then last month?

Japan is settling down, and now America is going crazy.

Did you buy one last month or what?

He bought it out from under me. The very last Xbox... I was standing right there, and he came around the corner with one of those "Wal-Marts" people and just zipped along and stole it. How am I gonna replay KotOR for the 23rd time now?

Mine died after five years running.

Well, I thought 0 might be too low, but I haven't seen any in stores anywhere.

Therefore, 1.

Which can we expect first?:

The official hardware numbers from Sonycowboy or an official press release showing the numbers and dollar figures?

I was wondering whether you would get it in on time. :lol Software? I'll be tallying the software this month like last month. Five people predicted a top 10 last month
Surprisingly, everyone finished in the top five
, and four people have, so far, this month.

I really, really just threw it together. Work is simply kicking my ass lately so I didn't spend anytime doing my traditional legwork. I can't afford a zero point effort in our "FedEx" cup point standings here. I've been getting hammered the past several months on my Nintendo estimates (as has everybody from a points standpoint). It's just so hard to put a number to the Wii and DS with the supply issues and this month we've got a new DS bundle.

Well, that's an interesting way to put it. At least for the Wii and 360 predictions.

Cheesemeister,
Can you send me the raw data for predictions? That way I can set up the points stuff beforehand and just be waiting for the actual sales. Thanks! :)

Well, that's when they're always released I believe- they aren't made public until 2 hours later.

That's what I was going to say. We may get a trickle or two such as via the ever-leaky Matt on IGN, but don't expect anything until 6:30 east coast and 3:30 PTD.

The rest of the year is going to be pretty unpredictable, so I'm excited to see where things are heading.

Agree, the rest of the year is going to be fun stuff, on both the hardware and software side of things. So many subplots for tomorrow..Madden numbers, Bioshock, Metroid, 360 rise, PS3's hold from last month, Wii's supply...ahhh can't wait. :D

Predictions were cut off at post #326. Try to get your predictions in earlier next month. This thread is usually started ~ 1 week before NPD is to be released.

Cheesemeister,
Can you please post the NeoGAF aggregate and ranges? :)
