Booooringggg... not even Cosmic is giving much hints



TechnoHobbit on 08 September 2016

Tagging. I finally remembered when we get the numbers this time, looking forward to seeing the results as Aqua/NPD shares them.



Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Congrats xbox, although if it's really under 300k I expected more.

Especially when most people predicted 300K+.  Hell, I think some were predicting ~400K.  Not me, though.  Cause I'm awesome.

Same, I predicted 300K, but said it would likely be too high. 

Then we are both awesome.

It is for me, and that's all that matters.

Edit: Well, what the heck.  It keeps failing for me, too.  Oh, well.  It was just a fire alarm with "ruined forever" on it.  My extremely poor attempt at humor.

I was predicting 300-350k, and for Ryng's thread I just split the difference and went with 325k for my "official" prediction. I honestly thought the XBO S would give a comparable boost to the 360S, but I guess that single $400 SKU being the only one available for most of the month hurt overall sales potential for the month. I wonder what the numbers would have been if all XBO S SKUs launched on the same day.

They were available for preorder, though, weren't they?

“Thanks to our fans and their excitement for new Xbox One games and the recently launched Xbox One S — which is the only console available this holiday with built-in UHD 4K Blu-ray, 4K video streaming, and HDR for video and gaming — Xbox One was the best-selling console in the U.S. in August, according to NPD Group."

You are being petty. Tom Petty.
