This is not the NPD thread...

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

Numbers have been posted elsewhere. Who knows if they are legitimate.

I don't buy those numbers that are floating around *but* if they turn out to be real...GAF and NPD need to rework their deal. If the numbers are gonna be posted on the net anyways, I don't want to have to go to the bowels of the web to find em.

I thought GAF got them first because of their "special relationship" with NPD.

There appears to be no NPD thread

I'm curled up into a tiny ball, whimpering as I await my satiation.

I've already had to wait two extra weeks. I can wait a little longer... yes, a little.... a little...

 

[C4Lukins]

This is not the NPD thread...

I am aware of that.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

So what's everyone's predict on VF5's 2nd week? Will it hold up? I forget the major releases of the week...anyone care to refresh me?

 

[Rhindle]

They're legit.

 

[C4Lukins]

They're legit.

I figuired. They seemed much more realistic then last weeks fakes.

 

[Oblivion]

They're legit.

Seriously?

 

[Jonnyram]

This week I'd guess...

Fire Emblem ~90k
Naruto EX ~75k

Riot Act ~7k
Splinter Cell ~3k

Untold Legends ~5k



...should be a good week for Nintendo.

I have a feeling Riot Act is gonna sell a ****load better than people think. Japanese gamers want the Halo 3 beta too Also, I think Sim City DS is going to do pretty well, though I believe shipments are low, like any DS game recently :/

 

[Forgotten Ancient]

They're legit.

Ok, now you ARE someone I trust.

wow @ DS #s

I just wanted to say I like how Media Create threads are always timely and accurate.

It's strange isn't it? Media Create and Famitsu release numbers every single week of the year in a timely manner (of course they have holidays too) , but NPD only needs to do one release a month and they can't even get that right.

wow @ DS #s

Don't forget, it was out of stock for over half the month. Even now in Canada the shelves are empty. The situation is the same in Japan, even though they get more inventory.

 

[allan-bh]

I guess Lost Planet number is just the regular version, right?

JESUS CHRIST STOP TALKING ABOUT ****ING NPD IN THE ****ING MEDIA CREATE THREAD.

But what else can we talk about? Japanian numbers won't come till at least 15 hours later.

Here's a hint. If you don't want to talk about Media Create, don't post in this thread.

If you want to talk about NPD, grow some balls and try making a new NPD thread, since it's obvious you're not supposed to be talking about it yet with the official thread not being created and all.

THIS IS NOT THE NPD THREAD.

Japan <- here.
North America -> over there.

 

[Mar]

The other thread just shouldn't have been locked in my opinion. It's just made people spill their guts in threads that should remain on topic.

actually

japan -> over there

[C4Lukins]

So on topic... I wonder if there is any possible way that the massive numbers of DS's being sold in Japan, could in anyway cause a shortage in other parts of the world?

And we all know what can (and should) be done about that.

Why must we be isolationists? Mediacreate gets mentioned in NPD threads and vice versa. They're relevant to each other, even if they refer to different regions.

Besides, MC threads digress at this point every week. Might as well make it something besides the typical "when does hardware" come out - even though EVERYONE should know that stuff by now.

The first rule of the M-C thread is you don't talk about the

thread.


Any big releases we have to look out for next week? I'm also really interested in VF5 sales. If it has decent legs, it won't be bomba total (taking the current situation of the PS3 in Japan into account). If it doesn't... well shit.

 

[Pureauthor]

Search 'ebgames', 'stuck', and 'psp'.

 

[Mojovonio]

i saw the numbers, nothing exciting.

Oh ok, i didn't realize that that is what that was a picture of; i was too busy trying to read the text on it.heh

That PSP/DSL EB ad.

Well, it's a bit odd that they would allocate so much of their inventory to Japan, at the expense of (apparently) serious shortages in NA.

 

[Krowley]

NO

Are you sure? I thought we were trying to find a way to go there and meet the Yokai.

I'm kidding, I'd like to think that GAF is an english- speaking, international forum.

 

[allan-bh]

NPD thread was censured, so I feel free to talk about NPD numbers in any thread

You are mistaken. Don't question my vast knowledge of space and time.

[ghostlyjoe]

Since it's obvious you're not supposed to be talking about it yet.

Who decides what we can and can't talk about? I mean, people obviously are interested in NPD numbers right now, and they're actively searching for outlets to discuss it. We're all pretending to wait with baited breath to see numbers we've already seen posted elsewhere.

Does anyone else find this whole scenario ridiculous? I thought the whole point of a gaming forum was to discuss gaming, and this is the main topic of interest right now, yet we're not allowed to discuss it due to some arbitrary thread locking?

Harumph!!

It is ridiculous. Under this agreement with NPD I wonder are there only certain people who CAN post the numbers or....?? Because since they said we can have hardware + the Top 10/20 per platform I don't see why someone who has the info can't post it as long as it's just what they agreed on.... or...I dunno.
