I'm trying so hard not to get myself overhyped for E3...

I'll explode if MS announces my beloved sequel :)


Lococyle 2

Give it a chance, it's not all that shitty. It is bad in terms of story and the overall plot, but gameplay is mildly entertaining. xD

Yes I agree with you shika NPD probably undertracked Xbox I mean 2:1 in USA, We might get better results in month of May but now that Ms has announced pricecut sales might decline

I really hope we don't see CoD at MS stage. Never got the point of showing 3rd party games at your E3 press conferences. Although I wouldn't mind seeing The Division shown or The Witcher 3, just please not CoD.

Have you played that game though... the first one? I stopped at disc 3 and never went back. Just recently re-bought it though.


I got bored of it :(

NPD doesn't undertrack, it's not hard to believe XB1 sales are that low. Don't just assume the numbers are not legit because they don't go in your favour ...

NPD is not infallible, they get numbers from a sample of retailers and upscale the numbers, which is not always accurate. Especially last month since only certain retailers had Xbox One at $450. They undertracked just a few months ago and had to adjust the next month.

And yes, 115k is kind of hard to believe when you could get Xbox One with Titanfall for $450 for 3 weeks out of the month.

Entirely unproven, and they have over 90% of stores on their books. It's just bandied around when the results people don't want come in, NPD is fine and is exactly why MS continue to announce their numbers.

Don't you remember when January NPD was unusually low and February was unusually high? It was obviously a case of undertracking and adjusting.

No I don't remember that, I remember it being in line with previous years. February is always high, it's tax month. (always higher than January.)

Remember, almost everyone here on VGC was expecting February to be low because of people preordering the Titanfall bundle, which was going to be included with March sales, not February, and then the numbers came out and everyone was blown away that Xbox One nearly matched PS4 for the month and outsold the 360 during it's first February by 61%

Doesn't matter what people here think, some people here don't know the difference between shipped and sold.

This year has followed the same pattern as previous years, nothing odd about February being up.

Jan 12 - 270k
Feb 12 - 426k
Mar 12 - 371k
April 12 - 236k

360 sales early 2012, and a dozen other examples like that.
