It seems like this shit happens every other month. Media Create and Famitsu get us our numbers every week without fail - aside from the occasional holiday.

GAF should unite to form a company to compete with NPD. To those that laugh at armchair analysts...shh! Michael Pachter is no better than the rest. All we need to do is find a way to collect data from a collection of retailers and come up with our own bizarro extrapolation algorithms for the rest.

Ok...somebody do it.

That'd take lots of work. It's much easier to complain that the people who do all the work won't give us the information.

 

[Grecco]

:lol So we have a gagillion page thread and no numbers?

 

[Heidir]

X360 :lol

 

[Oblivion]

Also, wouldn't SC have changed the thread title by now? He did it in the last thread...

Don't kill my dream of getting another free source of sales that I have to do no work for.

Just for clarification. The numbers weren't delayed last week. January was extended to a 5 week month instead of 4, which happens every 6-7 years or so, because 52 weeks * 7 days a week is a day off of the actual 365 days in a year. If they had come out today, they would have been on time. But they're delayed until Tuesday by multiple reports.

Just use the source that GameDaily calls "the best good faith effort yet".

You're the one with the direct contact to the NPD group why don't you just ask them?

So, this is fake?

Wow, Wii 1, DS 2..

NPD is too busy counting on their fingers to respond.

Magic 8-ball says: Maybe

 

[Fess]

Don't know if they're valid but I just saw some figures on vgchart. Wii > DS > PS3 > PS2 > 360

 

[donny2112]

They referenced VGCharts on page 2. :lol

:lol

I always thought GameDaily seemed a little less professional than Next-Gen or Gamasutra.

[VanMardigan]

[Elios83]

bunkum has posted numbers on vgcharts forum ^^'' Poor 360 and PSP if true.

 

[Crom]

Not vgchart numbers

Don't crucify me.

 

[Burnst]

Wtf...

vgcharts

Please don't.

 

[B E N K E]

If true, MS needs to act soon with a price cut. Even if the actual numbers are close it has to sting being number 5 in the US.

 

[Oblivion]

Holy shit, just saw the numbers, and PS3 did better than I thought. Not too far behind Wii.

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

hahahahahahahahha

That's all I got to say about that.

 

[Petrarca]
