GamesIndustry.Biz writes: "Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter and Jesse Divnich of EEDAR have both released their analyst predictions for August's NPD results, which are due to be released on Thursday this week.
Both analysts believe that the year-on-year growth in software sales will be in the region of 22 per cent, with hardware sales once again dominated by the Nintendo Wii and DS consoles."
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
I stop reading right there
I can't believe analyst get paid to predict such obvious things. With the Release of Madden XX, of course one will expect Software sales to increase a lot from the previous month
i have to say that we are misunderstanding him. Pachter's analysis's are not meant for us the gamer. We have a different view on the gaming industry. and obviously a more personal attachment.
Pachter works for Wedbush Morgan Securities. A financial investment firm. His predictions are geared toward investors. he is not trying to sell games or consoles. he is trying to attract investors that will invest through his company.
not only should we take what he says with a grain of salt but also we as gamers should not take it personal.. Pachter is just taking a more direct approach at reaching out to future investors and possibly direct market toward his investors best interests.

...while the recent price cut of Xbox consoles may have affected August sales slightly.
