Time for our monthly dosage of analyst guesstimates.

Ahead of the official sales numbers of the NPD Group, both analyst firms Wedbush Morgan (with posterboy Michael Pachter) and EEDAR predict that the Xbox 360 whooped the PlayStation 3 for the month of September. Surprise?

Time for our monthly dosage of analyst guesstimates.

Ahead of the official sales numbers of the NPD Group, both analyst firms Wedbush Morgan (with posterboy Michael Pachter) and EEDAR predict that the Xbox 360 whooped the PlayStation 3 for the month of September.

Big surprise. In Japan, it was already reported that the Xbox 360 outsold the PlayStation 3 for the entire month of September, thanks to the massive price cut that Microsoft introduced. No shocker if the same thing happened in North America.

EEDAR believes that the Xbox 360 only outsold the PlayStation 3 by about 105k for the month, while Pachter is less optimistic, saying it had outsold the PS3 by as much as 125k. Strange, knowing that he’s been all gung ho for the Sony console before.

As for the Wii, well, it’s also not surprising that no one seems to be worried about it. Anyway, here are the numbers they figure the consoles sold last month:

EEDAR:

• DS – 600,000
• Wii – 600,000
• Xbox 360 – 320,000
• PSP – 235,000
• PS3 – 215,000

Wedbush Morgan:

• Wii – 600,000
• Xbox 360 – 300,000
• PS3 – 175,000
