Analysts predict July NPD numbers, see massive growth in software sales

It’s time for a little pre-NPD predicting: GameDaily has the scoop on three major industry analysts’ takes on July sales. Wedbush Morgan’s Michael Pachter, EEDAR’s Jesse Divnich and Lazard Capital Markets’ Colin Sebastian all predicted serious growth and Wii dominance (shocking!), though each had different specifics.

Pachter predicted 44% growth in overall software sales and for the Wii to outsell the Xbox 360 and PS3 combined, moving 650k units. Divnich sees 43% growth and ” expects Wii sales of over 612K compared to 360 sales of over 325K and PS3 sales of over 275K”. Most conservative of all are Sebastian’s estimates, putting the growth at 30-35%.

We’ll know very soon (the post indicates this Thursday) who was closest to the truth when the NPD’s come out.

    Will the strength of the gaming market while everything else crashes vault it to an even more prominent location in the marketplace even after the market recovers? Can games really pass movies and music?
