Rock Band 4 outsold Guitar Hero

you fucking with me? I'll be happy if true!

 

[Miles X]

Yeah, I was an xbox fan. The neogaf hate was strong there, and trying to convert was extremely hard. Either way, I ended up with a perma-ban (check it for yourself, it was BS).

Dude nobody fucking cares!

 

[RoKKeR]

This is more entertaining than the actual NPD threads.

 

[jmaine_ph]

It was a tie and wii u sold nothing.

thanks for the FF7 on Wiiu thread. gave me a chuckle earlier

Typically, I'd say Microsoft's silence is deafening, but didn't they say they were distancing themselves from how much the XB1 sold and instead revealing other statistics like XBL subscriber numbers? I wonder if that's why there's no PR from them. Maybe they don't feel a need to spin like they had in the past.

"Halo 5 best selling Halo 5 in the history of Halo 5"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[super6646]

:O

HOLY SHIT! ITS HERE

Edit: Wow, I am a shit magnet today...

 

[Chobel]

I can't believe I missed my father's death for this. I'm sitting out in the hallway waiting for these numbers before I go in and say goodbye. Hurry up NPD!

LOL!

 

[Captain Smirk]

you fucking with me? I'll be happy if true!

Mitch Dyer, IGN editor just tweeted it..can't imagine he'd be lying about it tbh

 

[Boke1879]

No PR is very weird. You'd think at least they'd say what console took the month.

 

[OEM]

:O

Crazy good.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Maybe they both flopped

No, we're just trying to find the intern we had who wrote the PR. He was let go recently.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Dude nobody fucking cares!

Dude chill lol, why you being mean to him for?

 

[3rdamention]

Are we seriously not gonna get even basic top 10 NPD info anymore?

That was a joke. NPD_George is a Neogaf user, that people were jokingly saying was on the NPD Board since a guy on the board's name is George.


They are saying that he told NPD to no longer release numbers. It was all a joke. We should get the top 10 software sales.

I get the feeling they're kinda defeated and are turning their backs on certain practices entirely and just riding this gen out as quietly whilst boasting about their greatest ever line up TM.

Dead.

 

[Fat4all]

Holy shit.

I go on one vacation and NPD goes to crap.

Priorities man, priorities.

Edit: was this a halo joke? Man, smh

 

[ViciousDS]

That makes me really happy! Didn't want it to do bad.....I love the game and support of harmonix. Guitar hero was good but....wasn't my style

 

[Zeuanimals]

Dude nobody fucking cares!

I do. It's a captivating story, keeps me going in these hard times of no NPD numbers.

 

[Mpl90]

:O

Wait, doesn't that mean One sold less than 300k, considering October 2014's numbers?

 

[Chobel]

:O

There we go!

EDIT: You son of a...

 

[Mar Nosso]

No it's not. It's 1:39 in Europe!

Actually, in my side of Europe it's 23:43! Not even Friday the 13th yet

Post of the year!

"Halo 5 best selling Halo 5 in the history of Halo 5"

Godlike spin, lol.

 

[DC1]

Free game deals don't compare to the marketing deals. MS had one for destiny last year and Sony still outsold them 300K for that month

Incorrect Patapwn!

 

[Kathian]

Nintendo PR should be coming up in next 15 mins or so based on past months so might get a first idea. That or there's been an issue with the numbers.

 

[Welfare]

XB1 274K?

 

[Bear Force One]

Uhm...its a multiplat? The bigger games are Fallout and BLOPS this holiday anyway. And BLOPS marketing is PS4 so not sure what Battlefront has to do with much.

Wow, this is going to be an eyeopener for you.

 

[theprodigy]

:O

...both consoles flopped? or are my numbers wrong

If they won, they'd shout it from the rooftops. I'm not saying they didn't win, but a win would be absurd to sit on.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

XB1 274K?

!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!!??!??!?!!?!??!?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

:O

This should tell us how much they sold, right? I mean, they gave us an exact percentage!

 

[Elios83]

XB1 274K?

Whattt???
That would be incredibly poor :O

 

[damisa]

As the best-selling console in the U.S. in October, fans set record October sales and engagement for Xbox One last month, Xbox One console sales in the U.S. increased 63 percent in October 2015 compared to October 2014 and Xbox Live comparisons showed the number of active global users [Xbox One and Xbox 360] grew 24 percent. We are grateful to our fans for their passion and support.

XB1 sold 168K last year which means:

XB1 ~274K
PS4 < 274K

much lower sales than everyone expected.

 

[Primethius]

What? That can't be the correct PR can it?

That would result in less PS4 sales then last year?

That would be... a pathetic price cut "boost".

 

[Graphics Horse]

Can't believe I missed the birth of my son for this. Guess we're not going to name him Phil or Shu now.

 

[Y2Kev]

Belly flop

 

[HORRORSHØW]

rip my predictions lmao

 

[Javin98]

XB1 274K?

Shit, this can't be right! On a Halo month?!

 

[super6646]

XB1 274K?

NO FUCKING WAY! REALLY?! THAT LOW? COME ON NPD, GIVE ME SOME NUMBERS!!!! AHHHG!

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Who cares about npd hardware sales, 99% of console sales are digital anyway.

 

[idlewild_]

Is that a real PR? Because that's a pretty poor number for Halo 5's release month. Also, pretty bad for a PS4 price cut if it's lower than that.

 

[rpg_fan]

I can't believe I missed my father's death for this. I'm sitting out in the hallway waiting for these numbers before I go in and say goodbye. Hurry up NPD!

I wouldn't go in, it reviewed poorly.

 

[shinra-bansho]

lol. hook line sinker.

 

[Chamber]

 

[Miles X]

If they won, they'd shout it from the rooftops. I'm not saying they didn't win, but a win would be absurd to sit on.

Not when they're going to lose the following month (potentially).

Honestly, I expect little (even positive) sales PR from MS going forward for the rest of the gen.

 

[N.Domixis]

XB1 274K?

Holy shit this doesn't seem right, did consoles flop in October?
