LOL at the usual suspect trying to downplay anything Sony related. 4 months in a row baby!

360 says 32 months in a row baby

How many months in a row do you think the PS2 held it? Do you think it was over 100? It could have been. I don't feel like checking.

You probably just got someone really excited, only to let them down.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

I guess participating in those fun prediction leagues has become rather pointless.

yes and no, while predicting the correct numbers is not the same, its still interesting to see what vgc has as output

Well, maybe VGC should join the league. They seem to be doing the exact same as us - guessing!

it will be fun to see where they would stand in a list of all users for this NPD round probably not even in the top 20

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Never. This has to be discounting bundles right? If not then this would be the most hilarious thing ever.

NPD never tracks software that is bundled with hardware, it even says so at the bottom of the charts. Not that tracking of software in this digital age is any use to begin with.

VGChartz really needs to start keeping better track of the X1. They aren't that far off with the rest of the numbers though (only 3K off the 360 this month).

Bets:

1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

If that's true about InFAMOUS outselling Titanfall, then either one of them is incredible undertracked or the other is incredibly overtracked.

Orrrr it's something to do with the Titanfall digital bundle vouchers being counted or not counted as the case may be, which I don't really understand.

Bundled copies don't count, even physical copies. Similar to Media Create, they never count NSMBU from bundles.

But Titanfall X1 still seems to be overtracked because ISS didn't chart in the NPD top 10 and sold more than TF.
