Come on sonycowboy, nearly ate all my popcorn

I've heard neither hide nor hair officially. Unofficially, I've heard that the numbers have an air of significant believability around them.

I'll post a new thread once the numbers are official, as the results released at 4:00 aren't considered such for a variety of reasons. However, they rarely change.

 

[LJ11]

So 129k + X = 420k

X = 300k?

I would be very suprised if Xbox 360 sold that well in Feb.

I am expecting around 200k-250k.

Your expectation should be somewhere in the middle.

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

If hardware sales get really bad it'll just mean i'll be getting a cheaper PS3 in the Fall. Competition's awesome.

Well, Sony has been boasting these cost cutting measures for a while now; removal of EE chip, reduction of Cell cost, and I assume the price for BR player components are steadily decreasing. I guess it depends on how fast all of this becomes production standard, but there is also the PR hell of cutting costs this early. Don't want to look too desperate and undermine the perceived value of the system.

That, and it'd piss me off something fierce.

 

[909er]

Um, math willard, where did you get 420k from?

my presumptuous stupidity

 

[bud]

Are you ****ing kidding dude? We haven't recorded yet, I've got numbers galore in front of me.

This will be on the show.

DON'T FORGET TO SAY: IT WAS SENT TO DIE

 

[Fuzzy]

My watch reads 6:44 and there's still no official thread.

Here they come.

 

[squatingyeti]

it's past 18.30 where are the numbers?

I KNEW someone was screwing me. My clock stops at 12:00 and these other bastards' just keep going. :lol

 

[Zombie James]

How do you define "really bad"? Use a number.

100K per month through till September.

 

[thestopsign]

No, we had last month as well. And two months makes....a trend. And trends are hard to reverse.

But let's save this for the actual thread SC posts. On with the vauge hinting!

WOWOWOWOW

I'm guessing you haven't browsed through a lot of Media Create threads, people always try to make one week trends.

 

[antiloop]

Not bad.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Lots of people gonna be concentrating near the bottom of the chart. Some shock and disbelief needs to be reserved for the top of the chart.

Really, wow.

Yeah, but look at both ends. DS finally got America to let it do anal. And w/o lube. Maybe I missed last month or I'm forgetting but I've been waiting for America to turn it's back on the GBA. And what the **** is coming out for the GBA to warrant those numbers? New Super Mary Kate and Ashley Sisters?

I would actually buy that game if it had the same gameplay but instead of mini-mary, like a skinny one that has to snort a line before she can go skinny. Then she pulls a Super Paper Mario and turn sideways and disappears into another dimension. Have her go to a club and jump-stomp on multiple Lohans and Parises. Sweet.

 

[Xzbeat]

The one to beat indeed.:lol :lol

 

[Karma Kramer]

Um, math willard, where did you get 420k from?

I read somewhere on the last page that the Wii sold that much.... probably my mistake.

I knew 300k would be impossible for the 360 in Feb. Its probably between 200-250k... like I said.

 

[Haunted]

If these numbers are true... HOLY ****ING CRAP.



It's suicide watch time for Sony fans alright.

[thekad]

Software :lol

 

[bigfurb]

Well, i'm a ps3 owner and have been a loyal customer of all things playstation since it's conception, but I'm not bitter or surprised at where Sony is now with the ps3. It was entirely predictable. The nintendo fan that made this video sums it up pretty nicely

 

[duk]

Are you ****ing kidding dude? We haven't recorded yet, I've got numbers galore in front of me.

This will be on the show.

I am wet with anticipation.

 

[Stinkles]

I predict one Dreamcast was sold.

 

[Mudhoney]

I can't wait for all the "gaming is dead!!" and "I quit games lawlz!" after this.

 

[siamesedreamer]

My first NPD since I became a member of this wondrous GAF land, and by the looks of it I should avoid NPD threads so I don't get banned in the crossfire, and just gently peruse them at my leisure.

You're learning very quickly my young Padowan.......

 

[J-Rzez]

Where are the numbers so I know which systems I'm allowed to have fun with this month? Apparently by the rumblings, I'm not allowed to have fun on a 360 and PS3 correct?

 

[Zombie James]

Here they come.

I don't get it.

 

[Cosmonaut X]

And what the **** is coming out for the GBA to warrant those numbers? New Super Mary Kate and Ashley Sisters?

Cheap, robust handheld + huge library of games = warranting those numbers.

 

[squatingyeti]

1 for 2. 50% accuracy isn't too bad I guess.

 

[The Faceless Master]

oh man.

friday is gonna be so great this week!

 

[The Elite]

Bah, and I just bought my PS3 in March. Oh well, at least I won a 360 and Wii as well. I've been butt raped by all three consoles this time around.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

Sony is "Shipping" 100,000 Units a week to North America supposedly so the numbers sold would be a Megaton cause that would be hard facts that boxes are gathering lots of dust.

As far as the Wii its definetly not like any other recently launched console. it continues to be the fastest selling ever

I wish they were. I'd drive cross country taking pictures. @1,200 a pop, 400K minus X=Y Y*1200....that's...wow...that's almost a record setting powerball/mega millions ticket. Wow. Tretton would make me a rich bitch.

Will you also tell Shane that he's hot? Thanks!

 

[Frenck]

If Crackdown is the best selling game of February my faith in the industry will be restored.

 

[grandjedi6]

I can't wait for all the "gaming is dead!!" and "I quit games lawlz!" after this.

[Tieno]

Luke, get the 1upshow crew before you tell Shane.

 

[plank]

[WickedLaharl]

Holy shit how bad does it have to get before you finally give up on the damage control? :lol

 

[soul creator]

If Crackdown is the best selling game of February my faith in the industry will be restored.

judging from some of the predictions, I wouldn't count out Wii Play. $40 controller with a $10 game ftw?

 

[Jonsoncao]

best day in spring break :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[Norse]

Are you ****ing kidding dude? We haven't recorded yet, I've got numbers galore in front of me.

then by god you best do your best howard cosell and chant "down goes frazer....DOWN GOES FRAZER!" LOL


Shane is so going to wear his nintendo clothes this week. hehe

 

[Souldriver]

One Question: will there be a new thread when the numbers are out or will it be in this thread? Or will it be the clusterfukc like last month with one thread that has some numbers, another thread with numbers, 3 days no numbers, then a official thread with numbers everybody allready knows?


I would scan this thread for the anwser, but GAF is to damn slow to bother.
