Analyst Pachter predicts Microsoft beats Wii in September

According to Michael Pachter, the Xbox 360 will have beaten the Wii 450,000 to 425,000 when sales numbers for September have been added up. It's sure to be a nice boost for Microsoft, but considering last month also saw the release of Halo 3, they likely won't be comfortable to bask in the glory of this win for long.



While I personally think it is unfair to even compare sales of the Wii to the Xbox 360 or PS3 due to the differences in price, features and perceived audience, any time the 360 tops the Wii it is definitely surprising. With Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4 and Kane and Lynch due out in November, there is a good chance MS can carry this momentum over to November as well.
