If VGChartz numbers even remotely coincide with NPD numbers the Sony damage control in this thread will be severe.

If VGC numbers are not in line with NPD numbers, 360 damage control in this thread will be severe.

Not unless the numbers differ by around 100k......

How did I know you'd turn up here with a little pre-emptive spin?

Ever since FFXIII at E3, you've been Sony's go-to guy

So it's okay for you to say it, but if I say the opposite I'm doing something wrong?

:/

Oh I didn't say there was anything wrong with your behaviour, just that you have developed a trend.

*pats DMeisterJ*

What praytell is this "trend"?

NPD USA Year to date/Life to date totals for Wii should top 4m/11m this month.

Fixed for The Source.

Not expecting any suprises for hardware, but I'm interested to see how NPDs top 10 will look.

 

 

Fixed for you

NPD is USA only, last month (end of June) it was 10.9 million.


EDIT: Damnit you edited again.... at first I was calling you out on your YTD mix up... but you had edited to the above post except with 14 in place of 11.

I suspect we'll find that NPD has a smaller gap between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 than VGC claims. I know the PS3 had shortages and the Xbox 360 had a clearance sale, but the gap just seems too good to be true without any Xbox 360 exclusive releases of note and whilst still in MGS4's wake.

That's no fun. You should be claiming the gap is bigger.

Either way... my guesses for what the numbers are like are exactly what VGchartz has for it.  Anything I have just wouldn't be based off data and more off my own personal judgement biases.

It was a long time ago, but before I was in love with you I'm pretty sure there was something in your signature that said "trying hard not to be a fanboy."

Did you stop trying?

I'm just pointing out that as exclusives have gotten lost, and sales have dropped, there has been an inversely proportionate increase in your determination to defend the PS3.

*hugs*

That was fkusumot's tag for me.

Which changed.

And PS3 sales haven't dipped (much) and exclusives are always being lost.

What has changed is the amount of Sony hate on the forums. 

Seems like when a certain company has a few good weeks, and a marginal E3, somehow the tide of the console wars have changed.

Also, I have no idea how I defended PS3 in this thread.

You bought Sony into the thread, not me.  I came in here and defended nothing until you attacked.  Is it wrong to defend when attacked?



I predict after post-NPD adjustments the PS3 will have beat the 360 WW the month of July.

Could go either way though, I really have no idea what these numbers are going to be like, it was a crazy month.



As in go buy us some coffee.

Looking forward to them. And I third the notion that we put ALL numbers that come in (including games not in the top ten) in the first post.

Attacked?  I was under the impression this was all friendly banter across console lines?

You implied that you intend to defend the PS3 in this thread.  And I think we can finally lay to rest the notion that somehow MS didn't win E3. 

Hell, the conference has all but been forgotten about with the exception of one important announcement........

What's up with this nonsense? The monthly NPD thread and starcraft and DMeisterJ are starting the first flamewar without me? Now you've ruined it for me.

I'll go play Mario Kart Wii.

Stick around, we need a Nintendo representative.

Now that's how you do it Starcraft.
