Absolutely agree with him enjoying it. It is a great system, but please do not discount "starstruck power" and free swag. It turns people into fans almost instantly (not just gaming).

Its amazing how much those 3rd party relationships have helped Sony out this gen. The strategy seems to be paying off.
You realize that he upscales automatically to a nice guy on your computer screen, right?
So then, it's not inhumane, right? Why are you saying it as if it were a bad thing, then? If we would all do it, don't judge it, I guess.

Timdog is an Xbox fanboy, but he is a nice guy.
There are far worse fanboys out there. Timdog is good sport.
Judging by his twitter he had the best time at E3. We should celebrate that kind of enthusiasm, not ridicule it.

Sony's strategy this entire generation can't be understated. Its nothing short of incredible really. From price, to performance, to 3rd party relations. I mean it was an absolute home run to all level's of management behind the project and anyone who helped design the strategy around it.

Well, it's not like it's a shit console. I remember him throwing his 360 to make space for his PS4, it's just part of the show.
He's actually fine now. I really do feel bad for him now knowing how old he is.
I'm not sure if they have their own trackers or if NPD releases more specific information to the people that pay them for it.
I was always under the illusion that he was a rather cute kid...Kids should be that passionate. Seeing a grown man be so passionate is...well if the circumstances where different it would be refreshing now it's just {strike]sad[/s] weird :/
yo Zhuge mind weighing in on the below quote?
Initial reaction screwing them over again huh? I remember something about "Xbox" or was it "Nintendo" fanboy snitching and then I didn't bother much more other than what games China would try and send out in the world.
Yes, I think we were given a 59K average/week in June.

Folks, why the fuck are we posting random pictures of Tim dog? Please stay on topic and keep that shit out of here.
It honestly feels to me that Sony had a plan and just executed it flawlessly. Even with the delay of Uncharted. Sony had these major 3rd party deals in place to mitigate any lost console sales. Hell I'd almost argue Uncharted will sell better in the spring than it would have sold this fall.

I'm not talking about average weekly sales, I'm talking about the exact weekly sales.

This so much. I am trying to read peoples comments about the NPD and the last few pages have turned into people slamming someone I never heard about nor I care to hear about, but yet people are bringing this guy up left and right.
Can we perhaps try to stick to the topic?

No, he used internal tracking.

I think it was always overstated how strong of an impact Sony's 1st party output was with the PS3. They had millions of exclusives that worldwide studios were totally delievering on imo... but were all still having to bow down to Gears, Halo, and Mario. 3rd party is clearly the way to go to market a console, no pure exclusivity needed.

Where did he get PS4 sales? I doubt Sony will share it with MS.
The Sony PS4 launched in China and was not region locked, yes it had some limitations like it can’t download foreign games or log into foreign PSN accounts, but it can play foreign PS4 game discs, connect to foreign servers, add friends from anywhere on the globe, and download patches for games from overseas. Similarly, the global version of the console will allow players to log in to Chinese PSN accounts, play Chinese PSN games on disc, and download patches from the Chinese PSN servers.
Where as with Xbox One the console launched completely locked, you can only use China account, only play Chinese disc and download games, not connect to any foreign servers or friends outside China etc....
So what happened is PS4 launched, then shortly after Microsoft unlocked the Xbox One to make it region free like PS4. Of course this is a good thing, however Chinese on social media reacted negatively because they didn't understand why Microsoft didn't just unlock the console from the beginning like Sony did. Which is a valid point, and so some distrust between consumers and Microsoft has started.
You can read these threads for more info on China market-

NPD has to have a weekly tracking. It makes no sense otherwise.

My opinion is MS went with the exact same business model they were going to release in the USA before the backlash. And there's a million reasons why Sony delayed the launch for a short period.

Dying Light, MKX, Batman. Dat triumvirate
Well, if I were to make an educated guess of the average, probably on the low end in the first two weeks, as people would wait for E3 games and price/bundling announcements, and more sales on the end half of June, due to E3 games/BC hype. So probably 100K for first two weeks, and 197K for the last two, giving 45-55K each week for the first two and 90-100K for the last two. But no, actual numbers have not been given as far as I know.
They track sales of other consoles too.

Don't they get everyone's numbers with their NPD results?
They probably hired another company.

At the end of the tracking period they get reports from Gamestop, Walmart, etc and use math to get the final number.
I think that's how it works. It should.

They still got Mad Max.
Don't think we have seen the full effect of E3 yet. We got some % for that week but I reckon the general audience is slower on the uptake.
Also, people need to remember that in general Europe has been slower in adapting to new consoles.

Conrats to all the companies. Suprised by the XB1 hitting almost 300k.

Yeah a phenomenal year for them really. Also remember they had Shadow of Mordor at the end of last year and still have Mad Max on the way. 2015 was the year WB stepped up to the big kids table in terms of publishers. Curious if we'll start seeing them host their own E3 presentations in the near future.
They don't, only monthly sales.
All this companies have internal tracking services, they receive feedback from retailers. It's not comprehensive as NPD but it's a decent estimate.
