Forums - Sales Discussion - The Official October 2010 NPD Thread (Data in 2.5 hours covers Oct 4-30)

It is 23:47pm in Holland. When will NPD number will be released or leaked? How many hours/minutes/seconds left for waiting?



Its at 43m in the USA - not North America. We have 49m in the Americas. DS is around 4m in Canada, and over 1m in Mexico among others.

DS is getting pretty damn close to 45m in the USA lifetime. Looks like it will happen in the first or second week of December.


That's America alone right? I think it's close to 50M in NA alltogether.

?? How can be it be close to 45 mill in Americas and 50M in NA .....

It's 43 million in NA currently.

It says 49.2M on the site.

Americas - 49.2
NA - 43.0


Are you sure you mean North America and not USA? I find it hard to believe DS has sold 6 million in South America. :edit: Ah, never mind. Thanks for clarifying Source.

What does NPD track? Not Canada does it?

Thanks for clarifying. NPD only tracks the states then?

Such a vast difference, NA = north america,  America's = NA. USA = America and not NA, bound to be confusing to some people.

I'm pretty sure Americas is North America & South America.

 

and wtf @ Seece
of all people I expected you to know what country NPD covers



NPD tracks Canada but that isn't what you are getting in these monthly figures they are USA only. We've been over this 100s of times, the USA is roughly 87% of the Americas, Canada is 6-11% usually, and rest is Mexico (a billion dollar market in its own right for video games) and Latin America. Just look at Nintendo's shipments through September. There were 49.28m DS sysyems shipped through September 2010 to the Americas.
