@ Jay520

1) We've had God of War 3 on sale brand new for $15 for the past couple weeks

2) Oblivion is back because the 5 year Anniversary Edition of the game just launched.


On another note it sure is sad seeing summer sales, they are always so depressing. Man the industry just dives off in these months.


jesus that almost free...  lol

we never get deals like that in the UK on recent big games.

Actually I think it quite the opposite. I've been living in the UK for two years and I'm impressed with how fast prices drop here. I bought God of War 3 last year for £18. A few days ago I bought Prince of Persia Trilogy for £10 and I paid the same for Enslaved. I've bought around 100 games in 2 years, cuz the prices are so damn low and I just can't resist. Dragon Origins 2 (360) is £15 on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dragon-Age-2-Xbox-360/dp/B003VM8HHM/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1311301426&sr=1-1 Isn't is much newer than God of War 3?

Plus you can find Final Fantasy 13 (360) for less than £10 and it launched around the same time God Of War3 did. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Final-Fantasy-XIII-Xbox-360/dp/B001RCU95G/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1311301563&sr=1-1

Yep, maybe the Brits think they're ripped off, comparing their prices to USA, but compared to the rest of Europe, when the Pound is not too stronger than the Euro, UK prices and special offers are actually quite good.

NPD usually wrong? I thought they were super accurate.

It more accurate than Media Create / Famitsu and less accurate than Chart-track (or the Nintendo tracking).

NPD just tracks 60% of the US market... 40% is estimated... just to compare Chart-track tracks 90% of UK market (this is super accurate).

NPD make adjustments month to month too.

Well NPD are known to make stealth adjustment so mayeb we shouldn't totally reply on every NPD that comes in. We all knwo that quartely report are the most accurate of course,  you can't argue with them.

Yeah... quartely report is more accurate.

My point is if NPD is right then the 360 is selling below VGC had it in AMEAA and over VGC had it in Americas.

Just to compare...

NPD (April/May/June):  1.07m in US * Americas could be something like 1.170m.
Microsoft (Shipped): 1.72m

So just 600k for EMEAA in three months?

Or NPD is wrong or EMEAA sales for 360 is a crap... I prefer believe in NPD is wrong... I know I can be wrong too.

The dust on XB360 and Kinect boxes in EU shops (except in UK, where they do a lot better) and the white parts of those boxes becoming yellowish say "hello".

Hi. I'm talking maybe MS just shipped 3M for US but sold 3.5m due to what was left of the quarter Jul-Sep... so NPD show sales like 3.5m but MS shipped just 3M for US.

forget what you said few months ago right?

Another time, another case... in July-Sept VGC showed 360 with near or over 1 million on shelves (after that it dropped to 700k on shelves)... so more sales than shipped could happen... but now VGC is showing 600-700k on shelves month... so the shipped is equal a sales because the stock is not changed.

Read my sentence "due to what was left of the quarter Jul-Sep"... understand? Now there nothing left of the previous quarter (600k on shelves).

Or Microsoft said it was having supply problemas last quarter?

If you want I can make the maths to you .

Edit - That's not the first time VGC proved to be more accurate than NPD... and I'm not buying the fact NPD now counts shipped 360 outside US (why not PS3 or Wii... just 360?).
