February NPD Predictions

[mitran]

TheSource said: Mitran You misunderstood. NPD is set up for 364 day years (52 weeks), but years are 365 days. So in theory, every 7 years they add in an extra week for a year - 2007 is one of those years (2000 and 1993 had a this extra week as well). January NPD covered Dec 30- February 3. February NPD covers Feb 3- March 3 (4 weeks). That puts March NPD from the 3rd to the 31st, lining things up rather nicely. The cycle begins to screw itself up again in April, but because February is 28 days usually, it never gets too messed up until 7 years have passed. If you extrapolate your sales then..you have Wii at 400k/360 at 200k/PS3 at 200k Again, numbers come out in 6 days. March 15, 2007. On the east coast, they will be released at 4:30 p.m. or so. Usually they are leaked and available within 2-3 hours.

thanks for the info yes thats dos put the wii and the rest upp one week more so ps3 200k-250k 360 200-250k Wii 300-400k I do not see the same trend in USA as in Japan . In Japan a game seems too sell the best week1 week 2 -50% week 3-90% and then it sells 1000-2000 units a week for ever. While in USA a game seems too sell realy good month out and month in like Res or Gers ( res the only ps3 game over 500k in Americas so far Ea s ps3 games also close too 500k in Americas i think Eu has the same trend as in Americas wher a game sells realy good for a realy long time. Come April I think Motorstom will have 500K in Eu+others and 400K in USA and 60k in Japan (according to namco/bandai a ps3 game must sell a Total of 500k in order to make real profit. I do not know wher breakeven is for a ps3 game. A ps2 game needs 100k for breakeven i think .) any how god night im of to bead now sorry for my bad speling english aint my native thung
