VGC: XB1 - 217k, NPD - 115k


Terrible...

Over tracked by over 100k is unacceptable.

Forget about 100k, how about overtracked by almost 90%?!!

Well a lot of people did say that the PS4 would win easily... but most of us didnt guess it would drop that much.

and people were upset when we called bullshit on the vgc numbers. 


Or maybe, just maybe NPD got the numbers wrong, think about that, it's definitely possible.

Vgchartz always changes it's numbers to match NPD, Why? because they track more stores and are the most reliable source out there.

I get you're new here, but keep in mind that NPD is taken as fact by the big 3. If billion dollar corporations trust NPD then it should be good enough for us. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Fuck, I'm not even sure if price parity will make the X1 even outsell the PS4 if PS4 is 200K.....

Hardly is more than 150k. Sony nevers disclaim their NPD numbers unless they are very-very.

There is no way XOne is leading software sales if the install base has that discrepancy.

March (5 weeks) - 311,000 units sold -->62,200 units per week
April (4 weeks) - 115,000 units sold -->28,750 units per week

Titanfall was a console seller afterall.

This can't be right, NPD is undertracking X1


It can't NPD is the most reliable source out there. What did I tell you in your thread? that Vgchartz has been overtracking the X1 and undertracking the PS4, hopefully now you will believe me.


There is still a price cut, and I don't believe the NPD numbers are right, it can't be that low, maybe 5-10k less per week, maybe, but this?

B.E.L.I.E.V.E.....MS just confirmed they're real.

NPD's number are probably off a little, there's always a margin for error, but the actual numbers are going to be a hell of a lot closer to npd's than vgcharts.

You have the numbers or just speculating?

Goodness gracious. 115k? That's really not healthy.

I guess we can conclude, at the very least, that PS4 + PS3 > 186k, given that we didn't get any "Xbox family" PR.

Pretty decent numbers for 360 though.

Aside from that, seems Spider Man did better than we gave it credit for here too.

Also, that XB1 tracking is shocking. This is my second tracking moan in less than 6 hours!

Yep >.< You know the tracking is bad when the numbers people pluck out of thin air are closer to the mark than those derived from VC's sources :/

Still, i don't think anyone expected it to be this bad...
