I wouldn't say it sounds worrying. He clearly states "very strong demand". Sony almost never releases NA numbers, so it really isn't surprising

We get two typs of Sony US PR these days, the type above, and the type above, but with some stas like 'double digit growth' SW was up 5% this year ect ect, I'm surprised we didn't get anything

Yeah but the "double digit growth" line always follows NPD, does it not. Maybe they're waiting for the numbers from them

All the data comes from NPD, and if Nintendo have theirs, MS and Sony have theirs as well I imagin. Last year MS released PR 8 hours after Nintendo, not sure why ... and Sony didn't release anything at all. The year before they were ecstatic and throwing stats all over the place.

Im impressed that you can derive so much information from something i would consider erroneous, seece.
i dont doubt that you may be right, but i am curious as to the assuredly strong evidence you have to support this conviction.
Maybe it will help me do better in the ten week countdown in the future if im able to garner such information from seemingly quirky omissions.
Oh also i recall you saying that 360 was more shipped to gamestop during bf but when i checked online ps3 was the hottest product.

gamestop?you don't need to check online

I'm just going by the fact they gave very little away other than the generic comments they're always churning out. Ben the guy here, is near the top of gamestop (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4318894)

And I got the prelim numbers for PS3 and X360 earlier today which I shall put up on the site soon.

Edit - and I didn't enter the 10 week countdown because I wanted to see what MS had planned for the holiday, I wasn't going to guess or join for the sake of it. It's all there in the actual thread.

It's funny how people try to make their subjective opinions appear objective.

seeing the new data im gonna have to say that my and others original forecast for ps3 of 380-420k range for NA BF has been raised to the 470-510+k range

under 450k would be a disappointment

This is great news. Uncharted 3 should see a big boost as well

Damn, can't you people let the PS3 have some positivity? Significant or not, there are negatives and positives associated with every console. No need to stray so hard to one of those sides.
