I didn't even notice it in the preview (and judging by the fact that noone posted any comments in the previewe thread, none of you did either) , but here it is plain as day:

We expect NPD Funworld TRSTS U.S. retail video game console software sales data for the month of October (fourweek period ending October 30, 2004) to be released on Thursday, November 11, after the market close. This date is earlier than in the past due to NPD’s decision to move the release date up from the third Monday of the month to the second Thursday (we are hopefully optimistic that there will be no surprises this month unlike last month’s restatement).

It's like Christmas is coming early

I'll have to get cracking on the prediction thread. Only 48 hours this go round

Meh, nothing 's really exciting about october other than gta: sa numbers and see how badly gc did again.. ps2 will most likely own hw due to pstwo.

November & December is gonna be a riot though

Sorry for asking this stupid question again, but can someone tell me which banana is presenting which console? I think the green one may be xb because xb is green... How about the blue one the purple one?

 

[ohamsie]

there should be a gray one for gameboy

Altought i cannot think of anything blue about the ps2, or anything purple about the GC...

Sony blue comes from the blue LED on the PS2.

The purple Gamecube was the first to be shown. (IIRC)

GTASA: 1.8 Million

haha, thanks a lot. Now i got the idea.

 

[stonedwal]

Sony blue comes from the blue LED on the PS2.

Also, since mid 2001, PAL PS2 DVD cases have all been blue, with a few exceptions.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Sony blue comes from the blue LED on the PS2.

Yeah theres that....and the fact that it shipped in a big blue box.

 

[radioheadrule83]

The box for the new mini version is yellow. Sony claim the regular banana!

Surely this is highest honours!

 

[ohamsie]

I thought it was because the PS2 logo is blue, and the Gamecube logo is purple.
