She should just make another alt account but never tell anyone it's Aqua. Gonna miss her info here. I wonder how high up she was at JP Morgan Chase as well.

Well...this is unfortunate. What horrible timing, right? I'm afraid that we've been met with terrible news. Aquamarine is no more.

Damn, kind of wish my 3DS numbers were higher now, I'm about 80K lower. I didn't think it would get that much of a boost so early in the year. Still a chance I could be close but the GAF agg is usually closer than me.
Of course.NPD tonight?
In 2013, PC USA physical software retail only accounted for 5% of overall physical USA software sales, clearly demonstrating how NPD numbers do not tell the whole story.
Possible confusing sentence/typo in the OP:
Is this supposed to read "...only accounted for 5% of overall USA software sales..."?
The sentence as written suggests that NPD tracking of physical purchases only measured 5% of physical purchases.
Who's next on the NPD hit list, someone milky and sweet?
I expect Nintendo to trumpet 3DS sales, and they may feel generous enough to throw in Wii U hardware sales as a YOY increase (if there is one), as well. Someone will probably give PS4 sales (or at least tell us they're #1 console), and maybe Microsoft will give XB1 sales as a MOM gain. I'm hopeful!

Sony: "PS4 is the #1 console again!"
Nintendo: "3DS was the best selling system this month!"
Microsoft: something something momentum
5% of all physical software sales are PC games.
Shouldn't Microsoft's price drop tip the scales?

Microsoft "We sold something!"
Sony "We sold something more! *press X to dodge the bullet*"
Nintendo "3DS sold great, best selling console by...something! Wii U increased YOY as well. Peace and love, everyone. P.S. Please, buy Codename S.T.E.A.M."
$50 isn't enough.
Oh yeah, that's what I meant by tip the scales, sorry.For it to be #1? Nah.
For it to be closer to the PS4 than last year? Sure.
Well, it's $50 *below* the competition, no? I mean, I'm not saying it's going to trump PS4, but if people are looking for a cheaper console that does "basically the same" (yes, I know about hardware differences), I guess XBO is the way to go for them?

there was a survey that came out a few weeks ago about why people bought the consoles they bought. xbox customers mostly bought it because of the xbox brand and features, while ps4 customers bought it because of resolution and game library. price value was not on the list for ps4 or xbox one.
Yeah despite many people not willing to admit it i think game library is the major reason. There's a narrative that Sony doesn't have big quality exclusive games going, but that's all subjective. What's not subjective is that the game library on the PS4 absolutely dwarfs those of the Wii U and Xbone.

What are the numbers behind the PS4 library dwarfing Wii U/XB1?
WTF, we've lost Aquamarine? Great, not only have we lost a great poster, but now we've lost NPD numbers (again) as well.
According to Listwar.com, the PS4 has released 247 digital and retail games, not counting f2p. The Xbox One has released 167 with the same criteria.
Hmm, no pre-NPD announcements by any company thus far...
