NPD numbers only:

Can someone tell me what the PS3 did NPD wise, last year total.
Also, what's the 2008 YTD according to NPD?

Take last year's multiply by 1.4. Then subract 2008 YTD from that number to get a ballpark estimate of Dec NPD.

See my post earlier in the thread, it comes to 760k, but he said "nearly 40%", so should be a little less. I'm guessing he's basing this on SCEA internal data though, so it may not necessarily match NPD data.

 

 

Agreed. He's talking shipped. Sold and thus NPD will should come in under that. I'm curious if he's including Canada in his figures also. MS and Sony tend to be sketchy about when they use our 51st state for their numbers. Alas, I expect MS to doe their usual boasting prior to NPD as they have been since the price cuts.

 

Not really agreed, when I said SCEA internal data, I meant internal sell through data, not shipped data. SCEA have their own estimates on sold through figures from retailers.
