Support NeoGAF

[bernardobri]

NPD trolls GAF, and I feel fine.

Anita Frazier: (laughs)

:lol

 

[Liquid_Bike]

Might as well just close this thread unless gaf changes its policy.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Halo: Reach (Microsoft, Xbox 360) - 3.3 Million

Damn HaloGAF, can we get a gif of Kat dancing or what?! :lol

 

[[Nintex]]

So this was North Korea's big announcement.

 

[C-Jo]

Well this sucks.

 

[Majine]

This just isn't the same :|

Mm. GAF is doing it's best to bring the lulz, but it's just not the same. The magic is gone.

 

[GK86]

We had a good run.

 

[dolemite]

So which games of notice didn't make the list this September?

 

[Haunted]

They even combined different SKUs... Why?

So we can't possibly extract any useful sales data from them.

I don't see it. The only way that would work is if one of the PS2 versions for the sports games made it to the top 10. That would only be possible with Madden, but Madden 11 PS2 didn't chart in last month's top 10.

So I think Kingdom Hearts hit the top ten, but only slot 9 or 10.

Maybe!

Or maybe not, I can't fucking tell.

 

[SapientWolf]

So which games of notice didn't make the list this September?

Looks like Front Mission Evolved didn't do so well, so that's a thing, I guess.

 

[Guevara]

Glad Metroid charted, but no damn idea what it means.

 

[allan-bh]

The last hope is Sony and Nintendo releases at least hardware numbers.

And of course, Leak!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Think about it this way. The five titles above BbS are all combined sales. Given the titles involved, I would say there's a very good chance that most of the individual releases on each platform for those games also outsold BbS. Which is to say, the only reason why BbS charted is because we're getting a list of combined SKUs now with no numbers.

I highly doubt that. The 360 and PS3 versions of Madden and Dead Rising, yes, but I doubt any version of FIFA outsold KH on its own, and NHL is questionable (probably only the 360 version if that).

 

[Ridley327]

So which games of notice didn't make the list this September?

Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock is the biggest game that ended up being a no-show.

Words I thought I'd never say or type: a Metroid game and a PSP game outsold all versions of a new Guitar Hero game.

 

[Imperial Hot]

NEW NPDs SUCK!

 

[KJ_Wii]

This feels like the Family Guy episode when Peter Griffin couldn't watch tv anymore so he inveted his own tv programs in his mind

I find that comparison to be eerily accurate.

 

[Tashi]

There we goooo. Thanks Ze

 

[Pooya]

So which games of notice didn't make the list this September?

I'm not sure, but looks like they included PC in this chart, where are FFXIV and Civ 5 then? but I guess it's sill separate.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Looks like Front Mission Evolved didn't do so well, so that's a thing, I guess.

HAWX 2, Guitar Hero, Cabela

 

[I AM JOHN!]

C'mon, if you're going to go there at least be brave and just say it outright. Tell us more about your thoughts on sales discussion.

Way ahead of you.

 

[Lebron]

We will never return to the glory days of 07-08, where each NPD thread was an event. Ah, good times.

 

[Bisnic]

NPD killed NPD.

 

[Dark Stalkers]

I can't get jiggy with this shit.

 

[Firewire]

How many days did Halo Reach have in the month. Doesn't 3.3 million sound a bit low for N.A.?

 

[TheOddOne]

I can't get jiggy with this shit.

 

[Barrett2]

I refuse to believe Birth by Sleep charted.

Lies, damn lies, and new NPD

 

[AniHawk]

We will never return to the glory days of 07-08, where each NPD thread was an event. Ah, good times.

Those were hardly the glory days.

 

[Boney]

Just to be clear, no leaks are allowed here correct?

 

[Fuzzy]

Misleading thread title. 2/10

 

[Blast Processing]

No numbers blows, but I do prefer the top 10 at the title level over SKU level. That plus numbers would be best.

 

[drtomoe123]

read through this thread

OH MY GOD I NEVER SAW THIS

...and goddamn, NPD sucks now.

 

[LordPhoque]

Doesn't 3.3 million sound a bit low

Are you serious ?

 

[SapientWolf]

Just to be clear, no leaks are allowed here correct?

Correct.

 

[depward]

Looks like Front Mission Evolved didn't do so well, so that's a thing, I guess.

Wait - that came out?! Wow. I had no idea.

 

[duckroll]

Just to be clear, no leaks are allowed here correct?

Unfortunately, yes. We have to maintain status quo, even if it makes it really lame.

 

[Carl]

NPD killed NPD.

Spoiler

Am i doing it right?

 

[WrenchNinja]

When you walk away, you don't hear me say, pleeease, oh baby don't go

 

[Sean]

We will never return to the glory days of 07-08, where each NPD thread was an event. Ah, good times.

Nov 2006 NPD was the best, had an epic NeoGAF NPD movie trailer :lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHUUIJi9t8c

 

[Firewire]

Are you serious ?

How does it compare to other Halo titles in the first month? I always thought Halo titles sold through the roof at launch in N.A.?

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Doesn't 3.3 million sound a bit low for N.A.?

Reach is apparently the third game this generation to top 3 million US retail sales in its debut month:
http://uk.gamespot.com/news/6281962.html

Doesn't sound too bad.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Misleading thread title. 2/10

fixed for your approval

 

[xray49er]

This can't be npd's fault. It must be the pirates fault why npd is so shitty /sarcasm/

 

[AniHawk]

Nov 2006 NPD was the best, had an epic NeoGAF NPD movie trailer :lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHUUIJi9t8c

Nov 06 was also the one in which started "the deal" IIRC.

To be totally fair to him, Riley kept his word for a really good couple of months.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Bouncing boobs.

:lol What the fuck?

 

[Jamesfrom818]

Look at the bright side, NPD day won't crash GAF anymore.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

How does it compare to other Halo titles in the first month? I always thought Halo titles sold through the roof at launch in N.A.?

The same as Halo 3, more than Halo 1 or 2. Though technically it took an extra week to get to the same sales as Halo 3.

 

[Strike]

Look at the bright side, NPD day won't crash GAF anymore.

We still won't get search back.

 

[ASIS]

So.. Why did they make this change again?

 

[ChoklitReign]

So many people suckered into Dead Rising.

 

[Jonsoncao]

Unfortunately, yes. We have to maintain status quo, even if it makes it really lame.

so you got the data? can I haz it?
