Forums - Sales - Wedbush Morgan and EEDAR June NPD predictions

I wonder what the next NPD will bring. I predict a lot of meltdowns.

interesting to note the giant increase in 360 sales from eedar and NPD to vgc, roughly 35% higher than both.


NPD hasn't released yet, and the other 2 are predictions just like VGC ....


I wouldn't say just like. NPD and VGC are more like each other. They both track actual sales and extrapolate from that.



Their Wii number is way too high, its been falling lately and pulled roughly 70k last week. It would need a big, lengthy spike to reach 400k in July alone. 86k two weeks before last, 75k the week before last and 70k last week.



87% is the generally applied algorythm but it can vary a fair bit especially in the case of the 360 which would lean more heavily towards USA. February for example, the month that 360 beat Wii, PS3 was #1 on NPD Canada. In that month 360 was probably more like 90%-93% USA. I have a feeling we'll be seeing some relatively sizeable adjustments whenever we get some hard Canadian and South American data.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

it's interesting to see that all predictions had the PS3 way low.  You think NPD was making adjustments from previous month at all?



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