Ahhh, just took a little pre-nap. Fully ready for NPD now.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I nearly watched it the other day. I haven't seen it in years

Ironically enough I did watch it yesterday actually hence why that quote was on my mind

 

[Raziel]

is today's NPD more special than other NPDs??? am I missing something??

First full month after Luigi Death Stare going viral.

 

[Blanquito]

Does that mean, "The library is in your pants?"

Well, technically, it means "The library is in MY pants" but yes, you got the gist of it

On topic: SOOON!

 

[Aquamarine]

How about a Destiny Alpha bump for the PS4? Would that be reflected in the numbers today?

We'll find out!

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

Totally off-topic: So I PMed cboat and I asked him/her if something is canned or not. His reply is "its donde".

What the hell does donde mean?

"where" in spanish

EDIT: beaten already

 

[Ottoni_Bastos]

how much time left?

 

[sphinx]

ohh thanks every body.

it says 34 minutes to go though,

34 minutes when on hype mode are an eternity!

 

[Mrbob]

I wouldn't get too excited. We'll have to go through a couple hours of teasing garbage first before getting hardware numbers.

 

[sphinx]

"where" in spanish

EDIT: beaten already

is there any game with a title that sounds like the words "donde" or "where"????

maybe that's the clue

CBOAT says "it's donde" ... mhhhh

Teasing garbage?

 

[Mrbob]

PS4 > XB1 > 150K > Wii U

This < that >>>>>>>>>>> this <<<<<<<<<<<< that >>>>> this

We go through this cycle every NPD now it seems until the numbers eventually come out.

 

[FiggyCal]

It's Ware?

 

[Beant]

I once strongly considered working for the NPD group just so I could see the numbers in their full glory. Am I crazy?

Well it could be worse...we could get NO leaks each month.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Which console do you think won this month?

 

[BananaSprinkles]

Which console do you think won this month?

There's only one obvious and acceptable answer. The OUYA.

 

[BY2K]

Heck, maybe we won't get ANY numbers at all this month. That would be boring.

Actually, did we get any official numbers, last month?

 

[Aquamarine]

Well, that part is obvious.

Nope. Last month was 100% leaks and CNET guy.

 

[Lynn616]

Anything under 200K seems really bad to me.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I once strongly considered working for the NPD group just so I could see the numbers in their full glory. Am I crazy?

Well that's one way of not paying for them and instead they pay you

 

[Mrbob]

Well it could be worse...we could get NO leaks each month.

Yeah it is better than nothing. Disappointed this industry goes to such lengths to hide numbers.

Layoffs were announced today, they didn't happen today. They will happen over a series of internal announcements and processes that take weeks and months over the next year.

 

[StoopKid]

Not really 360 did 190k in June 07.

Dead ?

 

[Fox Mulder]

Teasing garbage?

pr spin from companies that don't have to release any hard figures unless it makes them look good.

 

[jvm]

From an analyst:

June NPD video game software sales fell -3% y/y, but Q2 overall grew 9%. Next gen SW represented 31% of total sales in June, compared to 43% in May and 22% in April, major titles in the month of June included Watch Dogs (Ubisoft), Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo), and UFC (EA). These Jun-14 releases were not strong enough, however, to offset a strong title from Sony (The Last of Us) in Jun-13.

 

[EGOMON]

What snacks are recommended for NPD?

 

[CosmicQueso]

All of the newer boxes had good months. So that's good. Unless you are here just for schadenfreude.

What snacks are recommended for NPD?

Crow.

I think Chobel was talking about whether a game/movie/tv show was cancelled, not whether CBOAT was canned/fired.

Though, now that you mention it, that is something to consider. Unlikely that CBOAT or many other [edit: XBOX-related] people are fired in this round of layoffs, but you never know.

 

[Aquamarine]

Shouldn't be long now...

 

[Nirolak]

All right Bruce, how are you feeling going into this report?

 

[Daemul]

Shouldn't be long now...

I bet you're just sitting at your laptop constantly pressing F5

 

[KingSnake]

From an analyst:

MK8 among top 3?

Yep.

Murdered soul suspect am cry

 

[Ottoni_Bastos]

(F5 intensifies)

 

[Aquamarine]

Ha! I'm lying down on my bed at home with my laptop on my chest. So there!

 

[QuantumBro]

20ish more minutes, right?

 

[SwiftDeath]

Crow.

Oooh could XB1 be on top?

 

[NoirVisage]

All right Bruce, how are feeling going into this report?

Huh?

Donde esta "you"?

 

[Ajax35]

What snacks are recommended for NPD?

Salted crow.

 

[Daemul]

Ha! I'm lying down on my bed at home with my laptop on my chest. So there!

Pfft, close enough

 

[Nirolak]

Huh?

Monde esta "you"?

Yes my bad.

 

[NoirVisage]

Yes my bad.

Neh, the bad is mine, I have no idea what a Monde is

 

[Daemul]

Oooh could XB1 be on top?

If that's the case then I'm avoiding the NPD thread like the plague, it will be a graveyard.

 

[BananaSprinkles]

Neh, the bad is mine, I have no idea what a Monde is

It's the day after Sonde.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Wii u on top

 

[Aquamarine]

Wii u on top

OUYA on top.

 

[SwiftDeath]

OUYA on top.

DREAMCAST BACK TO CLAIM ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE

 

[Principate]

OUYA on top.

Jokes on you looking a Cando's Amazon rankings last month.
