Lightning officially beats Bravery

Edit: Both sold around 160k retail but BD sold 40k+ in digital

Where's your proof? I see nothing of the sort on GAF. Not to mention we don't know LR digital sales + BD being 10 days older on the market


I seen the thread all day, Sales for LR is <165k with ps3 having about 110k split. BD has 160k with over 40k digital. Somebody there was comparing top sold digital for ps3, LR didn't chart. So BD>LR. Just leave it at that

I can't even begin to imagine why XBO had such a massive increase. Strange.

Perhaps an NPD adjustment month. If they mess up in previous months, they post an unusually high or low amount to bring the lifetime numbers in line with reality.


this. they have done this before. I think Jan was not as low as they reported so they added the adjustment to FEB numbers. They have done this before. The easy way to tell is if the next month is someone in the middle (and the one month spike had no explanation). It will be difficult to tell though because XB1 has titanfall... if sales dip or are the same in march for XB1 than this is what they did.

Sadly in Jan, VGC was over NDP by alot, it seems to me now that XB1's Jan number was somewhere in between VGC and NDP.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

VGC greatly underestimated PS4/XB1/WiiU and even 360.

Adjustements up all round, woot! (P.S. WiiU looks less doomed!)

---

Wonder if Vita was underestimated too. It's sad seeing WiiU being outsold by the Vita on a weekly basis.

This site may have been screwed by NDP playing games with their numbers. We will see, if Titanfall does no boost sales at all from FEB than we can easily deduce that NDP "adjusted" their numbers. VGC "adjust" numbers by simply changing past estimates when new data is released. NDP NEVER revises old data so how would they ensure they capture the correct LTD number so they are not too far over time? They simply add or subtract to the next month.

They have done this quite a bit actually. I have followed VGC for 8+ years and have percieved this trend. Ask other long time users, there have been months that VGC was way off under or over from NDP, VGC adjust, then recalabrates their formulas to correct errors, so then the next month when NDP "adjust" VGC is way off in the other direction.

Look for this pattern.  VGC off one month over/under to NDP (badly, not talking 10-20% off, I am talking 30-60% here) then the next month they are off by nearly as much the other direction.

Haha that must be nice, for me its a full time career and I know there's a legitimate chance they know who I am. I have to be careful not to spoil anything that could hurt the company and gauge what I personally think they wouldn't mind me discussing.

So far, its done me good since in this entire time I haven't recieved any discipline. That being said Gamestop see's LOTS of numbers but they like to look at estimates as well. Gotta keep dibs on the industry


Its great that demand for X1 is up alot and up more in March by what your seeing, With VGC undertracking PS4 again, are you seeing a slow in sales for PS4 or is it still selling as much as you can get stock for. 



I'm done with this website and unreliable numbers.

It wasnt on your wall. It was in a thread. You flat out said XB1 was massively undertraxked. Which is fine, but you should have had some inside knowledge that the Ps4 was as well. You didnt mention it. Also, notice the parenthesis? Tjat was my impression of what you were saying (you also said in this thread you thought you were comfortable with talking about Feb sales when asked about march)

As for the ps4 failure rate, Im talking about before yours failed. You definitly over embellished it at the time. Dont you remember the "get your extended warranty because ps4 failure rate is a real problem" 6 months late not a peep


he has no obligation what so ever to say anything about the PS4, he can talk about any console he wants and leave out any other one all the time. 



I find it interesting that people are congratulating Microsoft for only barely losing.

Only in America, folks.
