Yeah too bad he is a member of the gestamodo lol :p don't ban me don't ban me

anyway yeah ethomaz measure is flawed that 2.9 attach rate I'm 90% sure is only retail purchased games (not digital, not bundled) that 400k is the VGC deviation for all games combined...

Man the fake war. I believe some of these guys think it's real. Unbearable most of the time.

NPD does track digital either I believe so MS did a mistake here....

Maybe it's ethomaz's math that's off. Where did he even find total Xbox One software numbers at anyway? I couldn't find them anywhere in any of the December NPD articles I found. VGchartz has Xbox One software at 4.6 million North America (which includes Canada and Mexico), that would place the physical attach rate for US below 1.48, meaning that Digital sales would need to be more than 4.4 million US for the US attach rate to be at 2.9.

well that would actually be awesome for MS and the devs/publishers .... that profit margin on DD is massive compared to retail....

Not a clue is all i can say. As far as im aware, NPD doesnt track digital though. NPD has always been like VGC using the same methods as far as im aware. Im not going to say im 100% about this or not though.

Nah NPD is far more accurate (as you would expect, they're a multimillion $ company) VGC extrapolates and stuff.

Pretty sure that NPD doesn't track digital, I heard that they were going to start doing it soon though or come up with a way to do it

Youre right. Theyre planning on tracking digital. http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2013/07/03/npd-will-soon-track-digital-sales--.aspx

I cant find any news of them tracking digital yet so maybe they will be starting sometime in 2014. That would be cool. I wish VGC would find a way to do this as well.

Oh i know its more accurate :) But i was saying i dont think they track digital yet. From what ioi explained they have similar methods of tracking as VGC. Prob just more precise and more outlets.
