Analysts do their guessing: 360 outsold PS3 in July

Industry analysts are paid to spout out predictions about where things are going, but most of the time they seems to be guessing with less accuracy than they should. And they're up to it again. The NPD numbers for the July sales will be released on Thursday, but Michael Pachter and his cohorts have been talking out their assess again.

NCAA Football 09, Final Fantasy IV (DS), Soul Calibur IV (360, PS3), Metal Gear Solid 4, LEGO: Indiana Jones, Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii are the "probable" top sellers and the Wii is supposed to sell 650 thousand units, which is more than the number Pachter pulled out of his ass predicted the sales of the PS3 (250K) and the 360 (275K) would add up to.
