Wow Darth, you've successfully influenced vgchartz to the point that every thread becomes a dog vs cat pic war.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Now that NPD has announced it is changing how data is released, how will VG qualify future reports/data reflecting hardware/software sales?

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-20019356-17.html

"Starting this week, with its September release, NPD's free monthly gaming reports will no longer include the following:

 

  • Hardware unit sales
  • Software unit sales
  • Individual versions of a title in its bestselling-games list

Instead, the reports will list the top-selling games of the month by title, with all versions of the game included in a single listing. The new reports will also include a statement saying the retail information it collected for the month do not include digital purchases, rentals, and other figures outside of physical sales."

"In any case, you can expect NPD-based reporting on gaming sales to slim down. Even news-publishing clients who have access to the full data upon initial release, Riley said, "are not permitted to use this information for journalism."

VGchartz don't need to qualify, it is an independent tracking service you know.

Wow this is bulls***... So where can we find leaked numbers?



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
