first page, no data? what happens?

The OP was sleeping.

Since when you have this right? /Jk... But couldn't another mod edit at least the title when you were resting?

Yes, but you do know you can check VGC US sales, right? Just click on the game and hit the USA tab.


Thanks for the tip! I checked, all are definitely undertracked! Especially considering VGC has a whole month of extra sales data and is still under the NPD July LTD numbers!

Do you also know which of those are 5 weeks vs 4?

The 5-week months are usually March, June, September, and December, IINM.

ok, I though it could very by year, depending on what day of the week the month starts on.

Now being able to look at it I see the in 2006 July started on Saturday, So the June NPD that year was likely only 4 weeks while July would be 5 and 2007 July Started on Sunday so I wouldn't imagine it being a 4 week month either.  2001 it also started Sunday so another likely 5 week month, while 2002 on a Monday would probably have been 4. Last year I also believe was a 4 week month.

The pre-hype for the numbers are why many of you are so "down". In reality, July is generally the slowest/lowest month of the year.

Yes slow indeed , but on the bright side just wait till all those Bears come out of hibernation and Yogi and Boo Boo start to feel the need to get their game on , then the real sales begin.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

The numbers are quite a bit down to last month. May be E3 hype helped. I wonder if GC hype will reflect in US numbers in the current month. September there are some big games

nice to have basic features, and yest that the MS store official cost.  


So what? You dont need them at all. Xbox comes with a headset and Kinect if bought is one. Why are you even pointing this out?


Yeah I am a pro Sony guy and even I feel that BeElite does a little to much to down play ANYTHING regarding the XB1 and does it A LOT. It gets kind of old actually and serves no purpose just like his post about Madden and "how free" was it really......kind of annyoing too lol.

Anyway On Topic:

VERY slow month for everyone IMO.


If Ms gave the most basic features not sold them as add ons id have nothing to say would i.

I cant even use my sony or beats headset with my X1 casue they gymped it for a few extra add on sales. Their greed and anti consumer ways are disgusting.  And deserve evry bit of crap any one gives em.  

And any one using the awful headset x1 came with as an excusee is far worse apolagist then i am a hater.  I have it its crap.  


Its awful to you. You are trying to use your experience and make it true for everyone. This guy is a riot. Keep pushing your PS agenda tho i'll mind my business.

So you have no proof? Ok thank you, that's all I needed to know. It is normal for bombing consoles to have very low stock.

Eh, what? The proof is in the Nintendo shipment numbers. I hope you have seen them. It's not normal for consoles to have less than 3 weeks of stock, bombing or not. 

Again, it's overtracked by 100k in the US. So it would be around 5 weeks of shipments. So yes, it would be a bit more normal. You don't really think that we have europe overtracked by 300-400k? 

Sales data is suggesting that it's not overtracked as badly as you're saying. 



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

I said ~300k overtracked and by that I meant in total. So 100k US, maybe another 100 or 150k in Europe. ROW another 100k

What sales data are you talking about? NPD and Japan lol? There's a whole world out there.
