Forums - Sales Discussion - The Offical NPD February 2010 Thread

New DS model being released and old DS sales go up? I'm baffled.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Wow 360 beat Wii of all things? Shortages are a bitch.

As I've said before, NINTENDO themselves are the biggest threat to Nintendo's dominance. I guess they were just blindsided by the 3.8 million wave they sold in December, and are still recovering from that.

Luckilly the shortages seem to be dealt with judging by this week's US numbers.

Maybe not. VGchartz is probably having much difficulty tracking recently with all the shortages.

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

With Heavy rain's failure, all we need now is " Move" to fail to.

I don't know about if they got it under controll but I know there was a massive shipment last week. My store got 15. I don't know when our next shipment is though.



The Wii is down quite a bit from one year ago, 47%.

There is so much odd about these numbers. DS up so much? PS2 up so much (compared to recent months). Why...?

This my friend is what you call an NPD adjustment month.

Things will be back to normal in march folks.

Ummm. What?

LOL

Crazy odd numbers!



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

I agree.

 

It'd be nice if they were a little more honest about their methods though. At least vgchartz tells us after adjustments happen, NPD seem to pretend they don't make mistakes.
