Kevin Dent, what a sadly transparent individual. It's such a shame people can't just accept facts at face value instead of trying to merge the idea of their favorite system to their perception of reality.

 

[DrkSage]

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



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

Spoiler

Don't post AT ALL when NPD results go live

Especially if Bish posted a pic of his new bunker. That's like Bish is warning everyone and you know what they say: “People don’t die in wars they are warned about”

Do a lot of people usually get banned in the npd threads though? I haven't noticed.

Wow, he retconned his own tweet:

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Probably about as much as the Wii U then by now.
Sure, Nintendo had a slow start, but looks like they'll keep up the pace with the other next-gen consoles from now on, and start getting ports from Xbone/PS4.

 

[Majmun]

Nope, Europe didn't get a price cut except for the UK. In the US, you were even able to get an XB1 for $399 with Forza 5. And there were a lot of deals where the Titanfall XB1 bundle costed $449.

Not even Europe, only UK.

I think he's suggesting that shit is going down in this NPD thread, due to some type of horribly unexpected result.

So it's not all NPD threads.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

if that boy Kevin Dent is in damage control already....


Ru Roh

Everytime Dent-isms pop up in a thread, a kitten dies.

This has been a public service announcement from Americans Against Dent.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Wow, he retconned his own tweet:

good lord man, just stop...please?

 

[VanWinkle]

Kevin Dent is the biggest joke in the game industry.

 

[targetpractice]

You're smart man. Much smarter than me.

Hold my beer.

If you don't make it, I'll pour one out for you.

 

[USDF]

PS4 cannot possibly beat Xbone in its homeland this month can it?


Oh my but if it does?

The salt will outstrip the thirst, no bunker will be safe.

I doubt that to be honest. That's a tad too optimistic.

From where are you drawing this conclusion?
Doesn't the fact that PS4 has caught up with Wii U numbers already suggest the opposite of that?

 

[Biker19]

He's the biggest MS fanboy that I know of.

Ah, so that's why he said what he said!

 

[Averon]

If MS doesn't win March, I expect a whole bunch of astroturfing juniors to flood the thread trying to spin the numbers.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

If you don't make it, I'll pour one out for you.

Considering I'm two for two in having Bish respond to me in "sensitive" like threads with some of my comments... Let's just say that I think I'm pushing my luck.

All you can do is pray that the gods are merciful.

Just remember that as bad as it is here it will be like Switzerland compared to gamefaqs.

 

[7DollarHagane]

This thread has been a ton of fun. I don't really care about sales but I do hope PS4 does better than XB1 just to see more fun spin and damage control by Mr Dent.

That fucking guy.

i think it's safe to say with all thuway getting pizza, bish bunkering, and Dent just being a moron, MS didn't win march

Only if things going according to plan...

 

[VanCityGamer]

I don't get that impression at all. I don't think any of them have insider info; I think they're all just preparing for the inevitable chaos regardless of what happens. Not to mention that the only outright tweet from someone regarding the result said that Microsoft won March. Not sure if that's true though.

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

i think it's safe to say with all thuway getting pizza, bish bunkering, and Dent just being a moron, MS didn't win march

Eh, I still think MS took it. There's many signs you can read into, implying different outcomes. The biggest "sign" for Sony losing March, is that they released their 7 million figure the day before NPD data drops, pre-emptively

 

[Jamix012]

i think it's safe to say with all thuway getting pizza, bish bunkering, and Dent just being a moron, MS didn't win march

I...don't know. I don't think Dent has numbers, I'd still say MS won March, but it'll be closer than my predictions.

How old is Dent?

 

[CambriaRising]

I usually couldn't care less about NPD, but all this crazy hype has my attention.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

From where are you drawing this conclusion?
Doesn't the fact that PS4 has caught up with Wii U numbers already suggest the opposite of that?

As of 31 December 2013, Nintendo reports 5.86 million units have been shipped worldwide.[5]

I'm sure they've in the last 4 months managed to sell 1.14 millions (and whatever shipped but at the time unsold quantity). And Nintendo suffered from a whole year of shitty software, and it's really only now that they've managed to output a respectable amount of quality games.

The PS4 in turn had that respectable amount of quality games from the get-go, so no wonder it has been selling so well, but I'm saying Nintendo will catch up to that and be able to compete.

 

[hawk2025]

It's really, really not safe to say that.

- Dent doesn't know anything, as usual
- Thuway already said he has no NPD info in this thread
- Bish could have meant a ton of different things

Eh, I still think MS took it. There's many signs you can read into, implying different outcomes. The biggest "sign" for Sony losing March, is that they released their 7 million figure the day before NPD data drops, pre-emptively

Agreed.

Which is why I think that, if anything will be surprising today, it might be that the difference is actually somewhat large this month, thus closing the gap.


We'll see...

 

[targetpractice]

Do a lot of people usually get banned in the npd threads though? I haven't noticed.

Honestly, I haven't been a member long enough to know. But I do know that I should fear Bish, and given that he posted a picture of a bunker... I think it's safe to say that shit's going down, and bans will be had.

Considering I'm two for two in having Bish respond to me in "sensitive" like threads with some of my comments... Let's just say that I think I'm pushing my luck.

All you can do is pray that the gods are merciful.

Well, shit. Godspeed to you.

 

[Bowler]

I...don't know. I don't think Dent has numbers, I'd still say MS won March, but it'll be closer than my predictions.

Yeah I can't imagine MS not winning the march x1 vs ps4 npd

 

[The Llama]

Its a pretty unprecedented NPD, to be honest. This is gonna make or break the Xbox One for the foreseeable future.

Joke post, right?

 

[Karsticles]

Thuway flat out said he knows nothing.
Dent is (apparently) like this normally.
Who knows why Bish is bunkering.

I'm keeping my expectations set at 0.

 

[DrunkDan]

For some reason I keep reading all these comments about Dent and picturing Harvey Dent.

I believe in Dent.

Believe that he's full of

definitely not, they've had like 164k in Japan and 131k+March NPD for America, where will the rest come from

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

[BlackBuzzard]

Seems like Dent is already in meltdown mode.

Does gaf go down here in a little while? I'm prepared.

None of them have ever been NPD insiders.

Yeah, he's a funny individual. Dude is scared.

 

[AstroNut325]

Are we really going to get the hardware numbers right away? Aren't they usually 1-2 hours after the official NPD report?

 

[Atlas157]

I just woke up, who is this Kevin Dent person and what did he do?

 

[shacklesmcgee]

I don't get that impression at all. I don't think any of them have insider info; I think they're all just preparing for the inevitable chaos regardless of what happens.

Never thought of it like that, chaos prevention ha.

Eh, I still think MS took it. There's many signs you can read into, implying different outcomes. The biggest "sign" for Sony losing March, is that they released their 7 million figure the day before NPD data drops, pre-emptively

I thought that as well, Sony trying to getting a good press release out before a not as good NPD

 

[MarkusRJR]

Oh wow. Kevin Dent is having a bit of a meltdown. The sales data must be crazy.

Also, lol regarding the NPD sales being super inaccurate. It's as if Kevin isn't even hiding his bias towards MS. I imagine if Xbox One sales were super high he'd be super happy and championing MS on twitter.

Clearly playing Trials Fusion to deflect from their inevitable NPD loss.

Well, probably not.
