Forums - Sales Discussion - NPD warm up

Seeing as most of us will estimate one of the sales wrong (or in vgc case all npd since november for X1 and all platforms in february) let's warm up by choosing what kind of crow dish you prefeer to eat and what vgc number you expect/hope to be wrong.

Crow Supreme (chest fillet stuffed with cheese and ham). Expect PS4 to be bigger on NPD than vgc and hope vita gets better numbers.

What about you fellow vfchartianz?

I think PS4 will beat Xbox One by 10-25k. Very tight. Anymore than that and Microsoft will be in SERIOUS trouble. They have no "system seller" until Fall 2015 (Halo 5 - Xbox Game of the year).

Titanfall will go down in history as "TitanFAIL".

All that hype and it couldn't push 1 mil launch week. Let alone, help Microsoft win NPD.

Times like this I remember Toastboy's "Microsoft to win NPD" thread(s).

Purpouse here is to guess what vgc got wrong and what crow dish you would like if wrong. But you seem to want it since for this month titanfall can't be called fail... Maybe in long term, but I doubt it.

Ethomaz will lose his 3rd or 4th NPD in a row on ban is that afraid of crow eating?

I don't bet. But, if it makes you feel better then you're right and I'm wrong.

What did you get from winning? Nothing.

I gave an opinion.

You're entitled to your own.

I find it fascinating how gamers take videogames (and the subject matter) so seriously. Videogames were created to entertain people. Still, I'm intrigued to see more of this behaviour. Man never fails to amaze or bewilder.

your new here, so i will explain. here in the all mighty vgchartz we have fun sometimes by making bets. the stakes are usually sig and/or avatar control for a certain period of time. 

why do we do it? because its fun, why? because winning is fun. winning is a big part of gaming, people like to win. look at all those trophies and achievments that gamers love and brag about? look at all those competitive games out there, from MMO's to racers to shooters. people enjoy winning, and that will translate everywhere, even to the all mighty gamers heaven on earth that is VGChartz! 



I'll pass.. Still, Titanfall seems to have failed to achieve what it originally set out to do. SELL SYSTEMS!

 

We will know soon enough if I'm right.

Of course, I'm right. I always am. 



PS4 undertracked
XB1 overtracked

Business as usual.
