I did not want to derail the thread. It just sold the same amount like these games and I really did not expect that. This is basically the first post I made about GT5. |
I didn't say it's always you, I said people. Oh then you have the ability to derail a thread without wanting it, because seriously who gives a shit that it sold the same amount than a dance and sports game?...
I need explain some things to people...
1. There are no NPD for Latin America and Mexico... just for US and Canada.
2. NPD didn't count bundled games.
Now about the news here...
1.14 million is for November and December but the numbers came from diferents countries... the numbers from NPD are:
NPD US Nov: 400k
NPD US Dec: 560.5k
NPD Canada Nov: 179.5k
NPD Canada Dec: ?
There are no data for NPD Canada in December yet... so 400k plus 560.5k plus 179.5k = 1.14M... these number corresponding just for NPD US Nov, NPD US Dec and NPD Canada Nov... no NPD Canada Dec and Mexico.

This applies to all games though. I'm not sure it makes a big difference.
MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

No you didn't understand, they directly track all the big retailers in the USA, except Walmart and another one, they kind of speculate on their sales by using datas of past years when they used to track their sales directly. So NPD's accuracy is not quite perfect considering how big Walmart is and past years trends never repeat forever.

Just one more thing...
VGC had GT5 at 473.4k in November in NA... NPD had it at 579.5k in US and Canada without Mexico and other contries in Latin America (not all because some like Brazil receive the game just in December).
So VGC had GT5 undertracked in NA... 100k or more in November.
For december... VGC had it at 718.8k in NA... NPD had it at 560.5k just in US without Canada, Mexico and all LA contries...
Canada, Mexico and all LA contries sold just 50k in December? I don't believe... so in December GT5 seens undertracked 50k or more in December too.

718 - 560 = 158k
SO 158k for Canada and all other Latin american countries we have 158k.. but if in Nov Canada sold 179k.. i expect it to sell more than 179k in December.. as is the case for US also.. (Nov: 400k, Dec: 560k).
So yes it could be a bit undertracked..
but i m surprised at GT5 sales in Canada.. truly amazing.. So world does exist beyond US.. :P
so if GT5 can sell like 1.5M in US by the end of 2011.. it will definitely can sell 1 M in remaining Latin American and Canada.. So GT5 can still do 2.5 M for whole Americas.. which now look quite probably.

Makes sense. This will make GT5 haters sad pandas.

Perhaps I should make it more clear. When NPD doesn't track Walmart data, it not only doesn't track the sales of GT5 but all games. Hence, numbers we see for every game are "calculated" (as you call it). Unless you are suggesting GT5 is selling extremly well in Walmart, I don't think the calculation would affect it so much.

That's what I meant, as far as I remember there was a special offer at walmart for the game and PS3 bundle. But can't find it, I kind of don't know what keywords to use on google to find it again.
