Support NeoGAF

[knitoe]

Guess, from now on, only the top hardware seller will be telling us their numbers. The other two will be hiding in the shadow.

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

Hah, I forgot the 360 released in 05. Yeah, that span from 06-08 were great. Then reality set in.

Wasn't this the thing that started the fallout with NPD themselves

 

[gofreak]

So.. Why did they make this change again?

So their clients don't feel like suckers for paying for the 'real' data. Probably.

 

[Snuggles]

So many people suckered into Dead Rising.

nicely done! :lol

 

[Indyana]

I have two questions.

1- Move is listed as an accesory but the bundle should be listed as software like Wii Play, right?
2- Why are some skus not listed in the top10?

Yeah I think NPD threads are not really going to be the same anymore. It's really hard to discuss anything without real numbers. :/

I agree. I was going to argue with you that Super Mario games missing the top ten *could* mean sales > 100k, but *could* prevents any discussion.

 

[Ridley327]

*gif that's the damn truth*

:lol :lol :lol

 

[Fuzzy]

fixed for your approval

Thank you.

 

[NullPointer]

So.. Why did they make this change again?

Because Bungie beat HaloGAF. So sad.

 

[V_Ben]

See, you do have it in you

 

[TheKaeptain]

Suck it, DR2 skeptics.

I'll eat crow. Very surprised by those numbe...wait...

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I'm going to vomit.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

See, you do have it in you

I just remembered that EviLore confirmed that someone at Vatican visits GAF. The Pope's probably as displeased as the rest of us.

 

[Empty]

thread title change and mama robotnik gif :lol

 

[lordoftherink]

So, would Sports Champions sales reflect some of the sales of Move, or are bundled sales not counted?


As for the sort of notable games that failed to chart:

September 7 - HAWX 2 (2 platforms), RUSE (3 platforms)
September 14 - Cabela's North American Adventures (4 platforms), Lord of the Rings: Aragorn's Quest (5 platforms), Phantasy Star Portable 2, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
September 21 - Etrian Odyssey III, F1 2010 (3 platforms), New Carnival Games
September 28 - Front Mission Evolved (3 platforms), Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock (3 platforms)

No numbers from Civilization V or Final Fantasy XIV, which we might have gotten in the analysis in the old system

 

[Firewire]

Reach is apparently the third game this generation to top 3 million US retail sales in its debut month:

Doesn't sound too bad.

Damn that's impressive. Sorry if I came off like I was trolling or something, for some reason I always thought Halo titles sold like 5 million in the first month. But if it's up there with the rest of them then wow, she hit it out of the park.

 

[Boney]

I'm going to vomit.

Then don't quote it!!

It was listed as an accessory according to the NPD commentary. Maybe because there's two pieces of hardware in the bundle to one piece of software, that might have tipped it from software to accessories.

 

[Fantasy Final]

Thread Saved!

 

[yankeehater]

The number one thing I want now in life is to see the NPD group go out of bussiness. This sucks so fucking much. I really think not puttting numbers hurts the industry.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Boo this thread

Booooooooo

 

[V_Ben]

I just remembered that EviLore confirmed that someone at Vatican visits GAF. The Pope's probably as displeased as the rest of us.

Oh snap, I didn't know that :lol Makes it even more appropriate.

 

[SlipperySlope]

I guess we can assume none of the Move games did well.

 

[Metalic Sand]

A month without real NPD is a month not lived.

 

[Ridley327]

Boo this thread

Booooooooo

It definitely needs to be reworked, now.

 

[thcsquad]

I'm really surprised at Birth by Sleep charting. I remember after Peace Walker didn't chart on the NPDs I took it upon myself to look for the last time a PSP game made it to the NPDs, and it was 2008 or 2007. As far as I'm concerned, this is the biggest news about this month's NPDs.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

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

What's the reasoning now that the deal struck between NPD and GAF has pretty much been flushed down the shitter?

 

[2 Minutes Turkish]

 

[Shurs]

This is bullshit.

 

[USD]

Remember the good old days of 500 errors whenever the NPD numbers dropped? Those were good times.

 

[jetjevons]

Well normally I stay late after work on NPD day to follow the threads. Guess I can go home on time now.

 

[ChoklitReign]

Dead Rising is the most flawed game of all time. If it had no time limit and the AI didn't commit suicide it would have been good. Go ahead and try to justify it though.

 

[gofreak]

I would guess a little thing called lawyers. NPD knows all about neogaf now, there's no such thing as flying under the radar. And even if NPD didn't have a strong case, they could mire the administration in legal hassle anyway.

 

[operon]

You deliver again

Balls.

 

[Struct09]

Life is so boring now

 

[Classic_Gs]

This sucks.

Indeed, this just might be the last NPD thread I visit :/

 

[thirty]

wow what a change. with 360s numbers being published tho, that puts them in 1st yet again this month right? what is that now 4 months? 5 months in a row? Not too shabby going into the holidays. With GT5 delayed and 3ds not out until next year MS has the holiday on lock.

 

[Snuggles]

We're talking about Dead Rising 2 here, which you just proved that you haven't played. You clearly have not seen the light, so really I just feel sorry for you.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

More than results, this is a thread for mourning. Both for Sales-Age regulars, and for the people that enjoyed their contributions.

 

[professor_t]

3.3m

That's kind of a bummer. Reach is a much better game.

 

[Cheech]

Shit. You mean I have to play GAMES tonight?

 

[Seda]

The only reason we have the 360's and Halo's numbers is because MS released them.

 

[MetatronM]

You suck, NPD.

 

[Psychotext]

Indeed. Easily one of my top 3 games for the year, and I really wasn't expecting it to be all that.

 

[thirty]

oh. i thought that that was in there with the publishing that everyone else was down YoY. my bad.

 

[B-Rad Lascelle]

So if NPD numbers get leaked elsewhere on the 'Net but GAF talks about them or calls attention to them, GAF gets sued and not the leakers?

Makes sense to me.
