Yeah they were...are...a very good and solid NPD numbers provider, at the very least. There are still other solid posters and people who work retail here like ZhugeEX, SwiftDeath, and alla-bh (I probably got one of those wrong; everyone's got weird names online seems like) but she was one of the only ones that had access to the numbers. Along with Creamsugar I believe?I just saw Aquamarine as "banned" in another thread and followed the history through here. I've never really followed NPDs as I honestly don't care much about these numbers and I didn't know Aquamarine that well either other from stumbling across their posts from time to time in other threads but things like this are sad. She? seemed to be a nice person and I had no idea how much contribution was done here, NeoGAF lost a valuable and nice member, hopefully all will be well and you can join again one day, bye!

Although I'm interested in seeing the numbers, I stopped guessing simply because my numbers were always off. Way off. That and I'm not in the loop regards a lot of sales trends and the time isn't there to put it in. But it's still fun seeing other folk's predictions no matter how on or off-base they happen to be.

It's really shame how in video game industry we get less and less sales information each year from publishers, NPD, Gfk etc. =/ In movie industry we get worldwide box office each fricking week... Well at least we have still weekly Japanese sales. Godspeed Aqua.
People here are just curious how certain titles are going to perform now that MS doesn't have the massive lead in the US they had last generation when it was a lot easier for them to match sales.
