VGchartz October & NPD October Hardware and Software Expectations: Xbox 360 outsells Wii Again

VGchartz has published their latest sales expectations for the month of October. Regarding hardware sales, they had this to say:

"Despite declining sales from the Halo 3 boost, Vgchartz is showing Xbox 360 ahead of Wii for this four week period. It is worth noting that on a weekly basis (week one to week four) however, 360 sales declined 10%, while Wii sales increased from the 40% from the week ending October 13th to the week ending November 3. DS and PSP remain spectacular and solid as well, while PS3 showed an increase in sales for the first full week of $500 80 gig's availability. However, the boost was barely enough to propel the system above the PS2 which is stabilizing at 35k to 45k per week until the holiday boosts kick in."

Total Console Sales for October,

Xbox 360 - 564,796
DS - 550,399
Wii - 512,477
PSP - 305,017
PS3 - 156,128
PS2 - 150,182
GBA - 61,932
