What is the image? I can't load it at work.

I envy you

 

[endresults]

You mean other 47%, right?

The Suspicious Juniors are flocking. Something big is going down.

 

[anexanhume]

XBO/X360 February numbers were public.
http://news.xbox.com/2014/03/xbox-february-npd

And no one said NPD was off.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Kevin Dent? Kevin Dent?

He wants to go on about inaccuracies of NPD data NOW of all times

When people like Michael Pachter use that data to advise investors and stockholders in the game industry.

Wherever Mr Dent got his numbers from must have a higher margin of error than NPD.

 

[bombshell]

That's in Europe.

I don't think the X1 received such deals in NA.

Giving TF away for free is true, tho

Not even Europe, only UK.

 

[Karsticles]

So it's 4:00 PM (NPD release time).

Just a matter of time now before we get PR...

I don't even know why I am excited, but I am.

Well his name is targetpractice.

I kid I kid

 

[hawk2025]

Is the countdown counting to the approximate PR time, or the general release?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

But there's no reason to believe that Kevin Dent even has any information at all.

True, perhaps he's spent too much time reading GAF and feels the need to post something of a preemptive nonsense.

Not only that...but I know for a fact that Reggie / Nintendo of America looks at NPD data very closely.

And, Iwata uses NPD data as a metric for USA sales when he makes presentations to investors.

Since the video game companies consider NPD data as fact, we need to consider NPD data as fact as well.


I have no idea where Mr. Dent got that insane idea that NPD data is not accurate. That's complete and utter nonsense.

 

[darkwing]

its impossible since the lead is 340kish and then what ever ps4 sold that month.

I can't see how. That would mean the Xbone outsold the PS4 by >300k units in March. If that were the case, we wouldn't be seeing deep discounts so soon. That or the PS4 sales cratered in March, which, again, is highly, highly unlikely given the PS4 broke 7 million in sales on April 6th.

or maybe the xbone lead is just small? like 50k or so

 

[madmackem]

wow them dent tweets, if i was a betting man id say neck and neck or even ps4 on top given them tweets from dent.

 

[Darksol]

I love NPD day.

 

[CitizenCope]

When does NPD release their info?

Spoiler

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Dammit have to get some sleep before work tonight. Let's hold off on the numbers and meltdowns for about 4 hours. Deal? Fantastic.

 

[PsychoSoldier]

As hilarious as those tweets are there are some people whom you probably shouldn't give any attention.

 

[Kaako]

Just woke up and this is the first thing I checked. I wanna see shit go dowwwn!

 

[Namikaze]

March numbers should be really interesting to see. Not much longer now..

 

[MickeyPhree]

If the ps4 does win this month, does that mean the six games I just got for it are even better?

 

[nhlducks35]

Dammit I have work exactly at 3:30 lol

Call in sick and take shelter.

You don't want to be caught out in the open when this bombshell drops.

That and the fact that the organization is able to charge multiple thousands of dollars for their data to large financial institutions and companies like nintendo should tell you something about the importance of the accuracy of their data.

Of course, it is missing certain aspects of the retail market but thats why they charge.

Yes and don't you tell yourself otherwise.

 

[blackdevil]

6 games for Ps4? LIAR!

 

[OmahaG8]

"Believe it or not, George isn't at home please leave a mes-"

 

[S¡mon]

PS4 ain't got no games, liar.

 

[Dead Prince]

[targetpractice]

Hey now, this isn't politicsGAF.

I was referring to the 47% in Dent's post, not politics.

Well his name is targetpractice.

Spoiler

I kid I kid

Lol, fortunately I have the ultimate strategy for dodging the banhammer.

Spoiler

Don't post AT ALL when NPD results go live

 

[pharmboy044]

There is NO fucking way PS4 is on top for March. MS practically gave away XB1's with some of the sales from different retailers.
Bish is just trolling us and there is no damage controll from Kevin Dent.

 

[Deadbeat]

And here come the juniors

Brb guys gonna go boot up my alt account cause I don't have the balls to post my opinions on my main

I foresee carnage.
