Forums - Sales - Leo-j Loses Bet

Hold it! Don't ban him yet. VGC Wii numbers were 200k higher than what the NPD had. Id wait and see if their were any adjustments......

I think Leo-j was expecting the Wii to stop selling and the PS3 to continue at Christmas level sales.

Was it me or does the NPD data not include Canada? Because vgcharts does, so first subtract canada numbers from vg numbers for december and then count the difference.

Fearing

NPD is under tracked, their numbers don't include Toys R Us and other stores.

Why don't you wait for Nintendo's quarterly report this thursday (24th). If ioi adjusts to anything, it will be that one and not NPD.



Hardcore gaming is a bubble economy blown up by Microsoft's $7 $6 billion losses.

No they don't. But neither does VGC. Both have guess those figures. Guess isn't the right word but I can't think of the other one .... starts like "extr ...."

Yea! Leo-j thought Wii was gonnabe over-tracked but so far, no adjustments. I bet even if there are adj made, Leo-j will still lose cause he's losing this bet with only the Others numbers up

I still CANT simply believe that Leo-j said that the Wii wouldn't pass 20 million this week.

For God's sake, WAIT A WHILE. See if Ioi makes revisions due to NPD or Nintendo's quarterly report. Believe it or not, it has happened in the past.

Aren't you all going to feel foolish if the numbers are revised down?
