NPD Group new policy must fail. They need to feel that it is pointless not release their numbers.

 

[Jive Turkey]

I was so looking forward to the fanboy war between Kinect and Move.

NPD stole my Christmas.

 

[Zzoram]

November launch definitely boosts sales. A lot of people won't be buying Reach until closer to Xmas, or are waiting to get it as an Xmas gift.

 

[C4Lukins]

BOOM! old?

So that means KH and Metroid would have been top 10 as well.

KABLAMO!

 

[godhandiscen]

O.D.S.T. and Reach while fun games made me realize I prefer playing Halo single player as the Master Chief.

Hmm, yeah I prefer to play as the MC. Reach campaign's is much better than H3's but I would rather control the MC and feel invincible.

 

[D4Danger]

there's not enough fighting going on

SOMEBODY THROW A CHAIR

Yes, so what were usual monthly numbers for NSMW in past few months?
Answer: We don't know!

I have a feeling the NPD threads will have longer shelf lives as nuggets like this slowly come out over the course of the month.

 

[Haunted]

Interesting tidbit with the New Super Mario Bros Wii inclusion.



Happy sleuthing guys! I guess I'll return to this thread in a couple days and see what people have found out from the various articles. :/

 

[Snuggles]

So...how about that number?

 

[Kifimbo]

I have a feeling the NPD threads will have longer shelf lives as nuggets like this slowly come out over the course of the month.

That's probably what NPD wants. Less data, more NPD references.

 

[NullPointer]

So...how about that number?

That's shipped not sold. Jeez.

*throws fruit*

 

[Megadragon15]

So...how about those two Microsoft provided numbers?

Fixed.

 

[GillianSeed79]

So which Gaffer is going to take one for the team and figure out a way to marry Anita Frazier?

You would never get that. Even if NPD decidied to reveal the numbers for accessories, how would you actually compare them?

Although I guess you could compare software sales, but we'll probably get those anyway.

 

[Boney]

Answer: We don't know!

NSMBWii was 8, so we didn't get numbers. But Galaxy 2 did 193k and number 5 Harry Potter did 140k.

 

[soldat7]

Even IF true it still makes me want to bail on these threads.

Well, to look on the bright side, the new NPD means we can watch Fringe at it's normal time. :lol

 

[Takao]

3 PSP games in the top 10?! Is this a MediaCreate thread? Thank you multi sku, lol.

I'm happy KH charted.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Figured we'd have to compare software sales for Move but I thought Kinect would be viewed as its own seperate platform.

 

[Aaron Strife]

So what we can take from these results is that some videogames were released in September and some people bought them.

 

[X26]

this is like those threads on gamefaqs that feature such topics as " goku vs. cloud, who would win in a fight", with people using the strangest arguments and methods at attaching values to arbitrary things

 

[Road]

"Nintendo, meanwhile, sold 403,000 of its handheld DS systems in the U.S., and 254,000 Wii consoles. Sony would not disclose how many PlayStations it sold during the month."

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=130576411

 

[FirstInHell]

What a disaster. NPD slowly started taking things away until we were left with nothing.

I guess I have to resort to Chartzzzzz.

 

[MirageDwarf]

If NPD wants to fuck us, how about we return to incorrect lolchartz numbers. Soon enough all websites will start using these numbers as standard instead of NPD's. That will teach them.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

The flow of information opens up a bit more.

Wii is so low, PS3 > Wii this month?

 

[graywolf323]

new NPD definitely sucks ass

wow at Kingdom Hearts beating out Spider-Man, I mean I knew Kingdom Hearts is huge but still this one is on PSP and Spider-Man is on everything :lol

 

[markatisu]

This is probably the greatest day in the life of vgchaaaaarrrtttttttttzz as everybody runs there to get their fake numbers fix :lol

 

[Megadragon15]

If they refuse to disclose the numbers, doesn't sound like it.

 

[gerg]

Wii is so low, PS3 > Wii this month?

Seems like it.

 

[Road]

Wii is so low, PS3 > Wii this month?

I guess, we don't know

Is NPR lying?

 

[brochiller]

Sony would probably say so if that's the case.

Everything but PSP brother!

I don't think so. Microsoft might treat it as a whole new platform, but it's not a standalone product.

 

[Psychotext]

Come on Sony. Man up and give us some PR with numbers in it.

 

[Aaron Strife]

this is like those threads on gamefaqs that feature such topics as " goku vs. cloud, who would win in a fight", with people using the strangest arguments and methods at attaching values to arbitrary things

Cloud would totally win.

 

[jvm]

Source is AP, not NPR.

 

[markatisu]

Seems like it.

PS3 beats Wii and Sony says nothing? That does not seem likely

 

[ghst]

"Sony would not disclose how many PlayStations it sold during the month."

Wii is so low, PS3 > Wii this month?

Seems like it.

where sony fans and creationists meet.

 

[Fredescu]

"Sony would not disclose how many PlayStations it sold during the month."

So I guess we know were the pressure to stop public HW numbers came from. Not that NPD would need much "pressure" to decrease numbers from the "trough feeders".

 

[Sean]

That's a pretty steep YoY decline for the Wii. It sold 462,800 units last September and 254,000 this year.

I think it's safe to assume Sony did worse if they're refusing to release any numbers.

 

[yankeehater]

Wow at 360 almost doubling up the Wii. I would think if the PS3 also beat the Wii Sony would be shouting that from a roof top. Does anyone knoww how accurate the Chartzz numbers usually are?

Not very.

 

[Road]

For those wondering, NPD said the PS3 is up on the weekly average from last month.

Last month, 4 weeks, 226k total for PS3 means 56.5k weekly average.

This month, 5 weeks at 56.5k means 282.5k.

Welcome to the new era of NPD of hazy mathematics and speculation.

Source is AP, not NPR.

Oh, I didn't notice. Thanks.

 

[Megadragon15]

Now that we have DS and Wii numbers, at least we know Microsoft wasn't excluding handhelds when they said they were the top selling console.

 

[Busaiku]

Does anyone knoww how accurate the Chartzz numbers usually are?

See NPD, this is what you did to this poor fellow.

 

[scently]

IT BEGINS.
