"According to Pachter's report, $168 million of the predicted $415 million total revenue for the month will come from new platforms (Xbox 360, PSP, Nintendo DS" ahm, when was the PSP helping the total revenue, PSP is good and all, but it doesn't FREAKING sell, Analysys are way over thier head.

Xbox360 is the best consel off all time when the nooby WII and PS3 comes out they will get crushed by the xbox360 game titles the xbox360 sales the 360's hardware and also Blu-Ray suckz it takes up to much graphics power and 2 much processin speed it ur wanting ps3 then u will b getting it for shti games and good dvd's if ur wanting xbox360 ur geting all the major titles such as Halo3, PGR4, Gears of War, GTA4, Half-Life2 and many more it has been proven that the ps3 have the same RAW graphics power as the xbox360 so if u want the some consel for less and with better games and the best online play go for xbox360 if u want **** games rubbish gameplay and good dvd's go for PS3

Xbox360 is the fastest selling platform off all time beatin the PSP, DS, PS2 and the Gaming Pc's

360 has already shipped 10 million units world wide. It's just a matter of time before they are bought. That sounds pretty good to me for the first year.

Um, Rhubarb9, what are you talking about?????? The 360 has been selling well for MS. Do you think that the PS2 has like 75% of the market???? Any link???? I laugh at Fanboys :D

x360 sales are non existant nowadays its like 13% NDS 5% PSP and 2% X360

With a 20% fall in current generation consoles (notice how they are called 'previous generation' - doesn't that make the new consoles 'current' rather than 'next generation' then? That alone show's the biaseness of this report.) and just a small rise in X-Box 360 figures, it is obvious that the vast bulk of this 20% increase is down to handhelds. It is not a general increase across the board which is what this article is trying to show. It's subtle use of the 'previous generation' phrase show's it will say what is needed to give you the buyer confidence to spend their money on new machines believing they will be a huge success and great games will be written for them. After all, if the market is 20% up, there must be some good stuff out there, right? With current PC and console game sales down between 12 and 38% and no guarantee that new consoles will sell as well as previous consoles did, I think all bets are off. After all, we have never had a £500 console, so how do we know it well sell as well as a £150 console? That's the assumption the industry is making, for obvious reasons, I would suggest you be more careful and be very cynical about reports like this.

How much are these guys getting paid?

interesting

360 will be prolly the leader when its all said and done, i have a feeling, sony won the last one, and got cocky, see what it has already cost them befor the system has lauched... but with that said i think the ps3 will do good, just not on top, i hope it does good anyway cause i plan on getting one.

PS3 will come on top. Mark my words.

The Video Gaming Industry is BOOMING. Make the Right Investment!!! the System you Side with in this GEN Will Make A Difference . . .

I don't care about all this, I just wanna play the original Ridge Racer on my PSP. Riiiiidddddddgggge Raaaacccceeerrr.

Why if my job was to predict stuff about what was going to happen after it happened then heck, who needs college.

You shouldn't predict the past while you're in the future.

October will be even better. And the flow of infomation that analysts use is probably slow and dependant on companies themselves. Don't know for sure though but this month isn't all that old. There are alot of opinions on this site, too bad most of them aren't all that well thought out to be worth listening to.

So they predict what will happening in september at the start of october

Stop picking on analysts. The people who make their job so difficult are gamers, the people they try to predict. People are just completely unpredictable. This is why economics is so hard and inconclusive. The way that you can improve analysts' predictions is to behave like robots.

A month too late it seems, Those analysts sure know their stuff.

I predict the analysts will realize it is now October, but they won't realize it until January.

If analyst have an opinion they should just post like the rest of us. Way to predict the past !

Well, I didn't even think about buying a game last month, but I'm glad to see they're predicting growth.

They also predicted October will come after September and then winter after fall.

THERE IS NO GOOD NEWS TODAY

NO it won't not this year.

someone just confirm whether or not the 360 will have a price drop!

Just another persons hypothesis ...

Good news for the industry we all love

First adopters always makes new systems seem really good.

How many analysts does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Three: One to prove existence, one to prove uniqueness and one to derive a nonconstructive algorithm to do it.

The PS3 would probably do really well this Holiday if they had enough of them to go around ... Europe having to wait till next year is gonna hurt. I can tell Wii is going to be the "must have" item this year, and I'm sure Nintendo will deliver.

Isn't it an analysts job to look into the future of the business and not so much to speculate about last months numbers?

Weren't these people predicting gloom and doom this time last year?

are analyst neccesery?

I hate analysts

Me too puzzles...

...I hate slow news day....-_-'

@ AA7 AMEN!

Saints Row owns.

little bear - Analyst...interesting...

The 360, the DS, and the Wii are going to dominate the charts this holiday season.

i have a feeling it might be higher than 4 percent
