Support NeoGAF

[Alo0oy]

Would have thought Halo "bombing" would have made an Xbone win very difficult.

A Halo bomb would likely sell 5+ million, which is poor relative to the franchise, but very good relative to most other games.

 

[El-Pistolero]

No, XB1 won by not a big margin, H5 tanked, the meltdown is from H5's numbers.

Oh! Guess we will have to wait. I expected Halo 5 to do 2 million plus easily... oO

 

[Elios83]

No numbers yet?
I've read that so far there should be a small XB1 hardware win and even worse than expected (1.5m) Halo 5 retail numbers?

 

[RedAssedApe]

Is GAF running slow for anyone else? If so is it because it's NPD day?

we all melting down over npds. halo rules and sony drools

 

[GnawtyDog]

Where are those numbers¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

We're not gonna get them until late in the night.

 

[jbluzb]

Where is the pr?

 

[Y2Kev]

Digital sales could be 90000% for halo so they are tabulating those first

 

[Loudninja]

Oh I see why he said no spin because their will be no PR at all.

 

[Stilton Disco]

So why are people so secretive about video game sales, anyways?

It's mostly just the American market.

The company that collects the data sells it, so they're not exactly happy about giving the information away for free.

 

[wapplew]

So why are people so secretive about video game sales, anyways?

Only NA secretive, we got numbers weekly in EU and Japan.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Why no PRs jet? Normally they are out around this time, no?

MS too busy playing "We are the Champions" as they pop champagne and pour it on models while wearing Marc Jacob goggles.

 

[Beautiful Ninja]

So why are people so secretive about video game sales, anyways?

The NPD's business is based entirely around these numbers. Them being leaked means they have nothing to sell to companies.

 

[N.Domixis]

Someone send me 1000$ I'll go buy the NPD results, I promise.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Is GAF running slow for anyone else? If so is it because it's NPD day?

Power of the Cloud.

 

[Bear Force One]

Where are those numbers¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

They are 6 minutes late! DO WE DIVIDE ALL THE RESULTS BY SIX NOW?!?!??!?

 

[Pezus]

So why are people so secretive about video game sales, anyways?

capitalism

 

[Bolivar687]

Someone please explain to me how there's been no PR AT ALL!?

 

[Kathian]

I would expect most Halo fans to be on X1already so I think winning this month is still quite a strong thing. They do well in the holidays so expect a hattrick for MS especially with Tomb Raider and no real additional Sony competition game wise.

 

[Loris146]

Still nothing from venturebeat

 

[Elios83]

Someone please explain to me how there's been no PR AT ALL!?

No one is particularly happy? Dunno, it's weird.

 

[ViciousDS]

Halo numbers should be easy.....find out how many people had to download that giant ass patch!

 

[Get_craycray]

 

[Pezus]

Is it late due to Twitter crashing due to the Nintendo Direct?

 

[IAmRandom31]

Numbers are late due to a recount

 

[Miles X]

Yeah, it was kinda my fault. You see for a second, I thought FF7 was coming to the Wii U. In excitement, I posted about it, and it crashed Neogaf. Ooops...

But hey, I was juniored! So it wasn't unpunished....

Fallout 4 honest review was about to arrive...

The thread was locked within minutes, wasn't your fault, stop craving so much attention it's embarrassing.

 

[super6646]

Nothing from venturebeat, and no PR. WTF IS GOING ON! IS NPD DAY BEING SKIPPED THIS MONTH!

 

[sheamus]

Wouldn't it be funny if it was a tie

 

[AmaterasuOni]

Someone please explain to me how there's been no PR AT ALL!?

It is that 7-10K! Maybe the results are so close that even Sony and MS can't tell who won?

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Someone please explain to me how there's been no PR AT ALL!?

They sold the same amount of consoles. Lots of panic.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

No PR means Sony won because neither Sony nor Microsoft were prepared.

ALL HAIL SONY AND THEIR GLORIOUS STREAK OF WINNING IN SALES!

 

[TIMtationX]

I sense a delay.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Big surprise, WiiU won and Splatoon sold 1 million this month

 

[wapplew]

Halo number is not important anymore, REQ pack > everything.

 

[RexNovis]

WHAT! XB1 LOST D:

You are a terrible terrible troll. Between this and your thread today I hope you lose thread making privileges forever. You should be ashamed.

 

[Nirolak]

So... is this pretty much the end?

 

[Pezus]

I would expect most Halo fans to be on X1already so I think winning this month is still quite a strong thing. They do well in the holidays so expect a hattrick for MS especially with Tomb Raider and no real additional Sony competition game wise.

Against the CoD+Star Wars+$299 combo?? Good luck

 

[Jimmyfenix]

npd ppl got hyped for dragon quest that is why no results

So... is this pretty much the end?

not like this

 

[super6646]

The thread was locked within minutes, wasn't your fault, stop craving so much attention it's embarrassing.

Yeah, I'm so happy! I'm juniored for god knows how long, until I feel ready to go to a mod and beg for the position back. Look, it was a mistake, a pretty idiotic one, but lets just leave it at that.

 

[N.Domixis]

I took the day off for THIS?! Never again.

 

[Loudninja]

Soooo Cloud is pretty cool I guess.

 

[ViciousDS]

I would expect most Halo fans to be on X1already so I think winning this month is still quite a strong thing. They do well in the holidays so expect a hattrick for MS especially with Tomb Raider and no real additional Sony competition game wise.

Except the two biggest shooters of the year....star wars and call of duty. There are ads for those EVERYWHERE. For every xbox commercial I see at least 5-6 star wars and call of duty ps4 ones. You think Destiny was big For Sony last year....just wait

 

[FinalStageBoss]

No PR?

 

[Toki767]

So... is this pretty much the end?

RIP NPD?

 

[cebri.one]

It's 00.37 in Europe and i really need to go to sleep. Release those numbers¡¡

 

[GravityInsanity]

October NPD probably got delayed to 2016!

 

[foxbeldin]

They sold the same amount of consoles. Lots of panic.

I'd be happy with that since that's what i predicted.

 

[Bear Force One]

LOL

 

[Katana_Strikes]

This is completely bizarre :/

 

[Miles X]

Against the CoD+Star Wars+$299 combo?? Good luck

That is a sweet ass deal! I'm sure MS will match whatever Sony put out tho ala the free game deal they seem to be so fond of.

 

[Pankratous]

Yeah, I'm so happy! I'm juniored for god knows how long, until I feel ready to go to a mod and beg for the position back. Look, it was a mistake, a pretty idiotic one, but lets just leave it at that.

In fairness I thought that's what they were announcing too.
