Forums - Sales - July 2026 Circana (NPD) Thread + Predictions

trunkswd 8 hours ago

July 2025 Circana (NPD) covers the four-week period from July 5 to August 1 and will be released on August 19 (20?) at 6:00 PT / 9:00 am ET / 2:00 pm UK.

Since Circana (NPD) leaks don't happen nearly as often as it used to and hardware revenue is something we do get, be sure to include revenue in your predictions.

Feel free to also predict what you think the top software games will be for the month.

Example prediction:

[Total Hardware Revenue]

  1. [#1 selling console] XXX,000
  2. [#2 selling console] XXX,000
  3. [#3 selling console] XXX,000
  4. [#4 selling console] XXX,000
