Why does it even matter? Why do people need reassurance like this? If you enjoy the console you enjoy it, who cares who sells better you already bought it.
Time until PR usually starts coming out

Are some people really that worried he might be right?

Hmmmmmm ...
Maybe ya'll took my comment out of context or something?
Neither worried nor need reassurance. How was that needing reassurance anyway?
Confusion has entered the meeting.
If he is right I will sign off the internet and only come back when I need help from Gamefaqs

No ms pr by now means xbone lost the month.
What about bizzarro-world month?
xb1: 300k-400k
ps4: 200k-250k
wii u: 80k-100k
Question:
Very roughly, how good of an indication are Amazon's charts for software?
I ask because, while I understand that Driveclub has been buried by the mostly broken online and negative reviews, even Forza Horizon 2 is sitting at a very unimpressive sales rank for October
Forza's September: #71
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-09/videogames#4
Forza and Driveclub's October: #88 and #87
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/2014-10/videogames#5
Where are the legs? Is this something to take as evidence (given that the rank is so low -- I understand that the ranks are always weak signals, but once a brand new release sinks into the 80's, is it safe to draw some inference?)
Thanks!
While I'm guessing these games aren't burning up the sales charts, it's also worth noting that the digital version of Driveclub was $10 cheaper on PSN prior to launch, which doesn't show up in NPD or Amazon charts. In addition, I assume a number of users are holding out for the free Playstation Plus version of the game. My guess is that a minority of purchasers actually picked up a full priced physical copy of this game.
Sorry to derail the thread.
I wonder if this is an "interesting" month or not. Or will October be the one that's gonna be "interesting"?

Oh my, the tension. I just hope both consoles had good sales. We need dat competition.
No way PS4 only sold 250k, but I'm curious if Pachter predicted Xbox One sales well. If really sold around 325k, is very good, independent of PS4 sales.
Destiny month so yes.
What would people do if the results for September were
XB1: 2,500,000
ps4: 50,000
Looking forward to the inevitable "October is gonna be really interesting" posts.

Every month is interesting!

So Pachter's prediction being uh controversial will likely lead to more overall posters actively engaging in the actual NPD thread when it comes out
Pros: More gaffers [likely not as familiar with sales trends] will participate in the NPD thread
Cons: More gaffers [likely not as familiar with sales trends] will participate in the NPD thread
Any bets on the final length of the September 2014 NPD thread?
- March 2014 - 7,109 replies -> Titanfall [+ bundles] month fails to propel XB1 ahead
- November 2013 - 5,349 replies -> PS4 + XB1 launch
- June 2014 - 4,781 replies -> Kinectless XB1 releases, fails to beat PS4
- January 2013 - 4,592 replies -> Wii U hard drop?
- May 2014 - 4,144 replies -> Watch Dogs release???
September 2014 - ???? replies -> Destiny releases, PS4 Destiny Bundle releases, XB1 promotions, Fifa 15 releases, Pachter says numbers, internet goes crazy
I'm going to predict September beats out at least January for replies. NPD threads seem to be getting much more popular as of late

Not really. Summer months are boring for sales
I really hope Patcher is right, we need a meltdown to save us from ebola.
The real question is, IS THIS JUST THE PRESEASON? Or do things really count now?
