Nah not at all.

Very good you say but every NPD you say ps4 sales are bad.

everyone knows November is the one that's gonna be interesting.
didn't last time they announced something before NPD but still came out #1?
I doubt it, it's just the same bunch of "no DNLA" posts every PS4 firmware thread has
Every month after the month people said was going to be interesting is the one people are saying is going to be interesting. All months will be declared interesting, yet the results...shockingly similar.
If trend is the same (PS4 win), it'll be number 4. If Pachter is right, Number 1 at 10k replies.
Now this is getting meta... predictions on the number of replies for a NPD thread! Haha. I like it.
I meant the number of posts in this thread as people would be distracted by another thread![]()

well it sorta still apply. since there was a thread about sony announcing something before NPD. wish i could remember what it was lol.
Yep. September and October don't really count:everyone knows November is the one that's gonna be interesting.

PS4 is not selling 325k, is selling 200k (even less).
So the numbers are available to NPD subscribers as of right now, right? Why do we have to wait for PR at 6:30? I'm literally wondering why it's not spilled beforehand. Or is it? I always catch the NPD sales results well after they've been posted so I'm not familiar with the timeline.

Are you saying you think the PS4 sold less than 200k for September?

It's sad cos October WILL be interesting. What with Sunset Overdrive White XB1 bundle. PS4 will probably win but XB1 stands a better chance outselling it next month than this month by a long shot.

NPD providing the data to the subscribers before any public disclosures is among the benefits of being a subscriber. It also gives the platform holders/ publishers opportunity to look a the data and prepare their PR to coincide with the NPD PR, if they choose.
NPD and the Big 3 need time to examine the results and draft PR.
Who is it that has those handy launched-aligned graphs for the major consoles (Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox)? I'm just wondering 1) what the Wii did in its comparable month and 2) what number the PS4 would need to overtake the Wii again?
Right, right, I get that. But are the Big 3 the only ones that get to see console numbers? I don't know what constitutes a "subscriber". Depending on how many subscribers see that data, I'm curious as to why not one of them shares it before the PR.
Again, I'm asking honestly. Thank you for helping me understand. I find it fascinating and I've realized I don't really understand it at all.
NPD ninjas will hunt you down if you share NPD proprietary data that people pay tens of thousands of dollars for.
Probably fix the typos.What would people do if the results for September were
XB1: 2,500,000
ps4: 50,000
I predict they won't make the playoffs.I'll go for around 6k replies putting it in a solid 2nd place, I expect a lot of very short posts commenting only on panthers predictions.
It's Halo innit.
Commas are hard on the iPhone. Gotta press some small ass key to shift the keyboard then press an even smaller key to hit comma then hit the small ass key again to switch back.

I was thinking of guessing the same.I say it will have around 5000 posts but it will be less than Nov NPD thread, so taking 3rd place.

Lol.
Pachter quote to look out for. "I never mentioned the White PS4 bundle, so my numbers were still correct."

Road and Donny from time to time grace us with such graphs. There are one or two other posters that do as well but I can't remember their names
To answer your questions
1) 501,000 [yeah good luck at PS4 beating that]
2) PS4 would need to do like 550k to 600k I think to pull ahead of the Wii [Wii at the end of September 2007 had an LTD around 4.52M whereas at the end of August 2014 I have PS4 at 3.95M LTD]
