Why do people keep saying the sales were horrible this month? Look at last year's sales. Its a normal pattern!PepsimanVsJoe said:Wow NPD fuck you too.
Shameful month btw. Then again my only contribution was one of those PS3s and a bunch of used games.
ZAK said:At least it was sent, mirite?
I am 80% positive it is a test case for Reginleiv.Leondexter said:You are indeed, sir. Let's just hope (in vain) that they don't use Sin & Punishment's sales to justify not localizing future games.

Skiesofwonder said:But yet you say that MHTri (a well known franchise title with a huge advertising campaign and major backing by Nintendo) could of sold around 80k in its first month on a console that has sold over 28M units in America (more then double the PS3) and that is as good as we should of ever hoped for?

Vinci said:If that 126k number is right, that's pretty damn good for Tri. Way to go.
Everything outside of the DS, on the other hand, is pretty sad this month.
GraveRobberX said:Every time I read a new NPD thread, it's the same bullshit thrown out by Arm Chair Sales Generals saying do this and do that.
Thank god the fucking industry doesn't listen to some of you, you guys are bat shit insane
justchris said:How do I pass this test?
ZAK said:fffffffffuuuuuu.gif
Dash Kappei said:Is this number true tho? Has is been confirmed or anything?
I mean, that'd be really, really good.
I don't see that happening, sub 80k is more probable.
Buy Sin & Punishment 2.justchris said:How do I pass this test?
Which one? Reginleiv?Regulus Tera said:That game was worth 68 bucks plus shipping costs. Buy it.

neptunes said:How Sony's trying to run a lucrative and healthy business and out-perform themselves year over year. Companies re-brand (or re-launch) their products and services for a reason. The PSP's momentum is all but gone.
Just Cause 2?Haunted said:No that great, hardware-wise.... although we are used to record months, so this is a bit more normality returning.
NPD being even more stingy with their numbers in the future? meh. I yearn for movie box office levels of transparency and we get less and less public info.
Also sad that the best game of last month didn't even crack the Top 10.
That number is true. Have no doubt about this.Dash Kappei said:Is this number true tho? Has is been confirmed or anything?

Monster Hunter Tri.Loudninja said:Just Cause 2?
oh yes. Weirder and more nonsensical than ever.PepsimanVsJoe said:I've blinded myself from everything S&P2 related(doubly so for SMG2) but if it's anything like S&P1 it's going to be a very difficult sale for anything approaching mainstream level.
More to the point. Is the story still weird and dark as shit?

As a comparison point, consider the lifetime sales of the first two PSP games, and the first-month sales of Freedom Unite.schuelma said:126K. Which is a substantial improvement on any other Monster Hunter in the United States. Not a breakout success, but far from the bomb you idiots were calling it 5 minutes ago.
How are they crappy? Don't apply fanboy logic to what they do. They don't just report on games.legend166 said:Can someone please hurry up and give NPD some (legitimate) competition?
What a crappy company.

Petrae said:Technically, NPD doesn't have to share any of their data if they don't wish to. They are paid for their tracking service data and have been accommodating enough to share some of that information with non-subscribers for press purposes.
Regulus Tera said:So how much does NPD actually charge for their numbers?

NPD is a lot less "crappy" if you're willing to pay the xx amount of dollars each month for their full reports. The rest of us "armchair analysts" are happy just to get any numbers to break down and discuss.
AniHawk said:$10k.
AniHawk said:$10k.
Bit much there.Nuclear Muffin said:126k seems ok. I'm sure the game will eventually crawl to around 400-500k over time.
Evilore should use the money from the GAF Gold Memberships to pay for it.AniHawk said:$10k.
hatchx said:Anyone else on the GAF wanna pitch in and get a shared subscription? If we each pitch one hundred, that's only 100 of us!

Opus Angelorum said:Splinter Cell : Conviction numbers are very good considering how bad a month it was overall.
dallow_bg said:Bit much there.
It'll crawl to maybe 250.
not in americaNuclear Muffin said:Maybe, but I've got a good feeling about its legs. The Conduit managed a similar feat where it got up to around 300k didn't it?
AniHawk said:not in america

RandomVince said:Its good to see NSMB still up near the top. More classic 2D games like Contra and Castlevania to boot please.
