PS4 + Xbox One combined ~ 452k
PS4 between 227k - 295k
XB1 between 157k - 225k

I read that as PS4 was down 45% so 295k?

XB1 a handful better would be 40% down

45% down is both combined imho. But no clarification until now. Both could be possible
XB1 a handful better would result in XB1 down <45% and PS4 down >45%
My numbers are the theoretical minimum and maximum for both consoles.

If it's true, that 295k PS4 number would be very exact and set in stone.
The XB1 not so much "handful" can mean anything

I think we get at least another statement, what he was referring to with that 45% figure

Isn't that just comparing Bayonetta with the first games sales?  Or was the DC comparison in another post?

That Sunset > Bayonetta > Driveclub post was another one. Im to lazy to search for, sorry

Actually, now that I think about it, I replied to someone who was qouting that.  Man, that was ages ago.  This is the longest NPD with the smallest amount of info EVER. 



If! the 295k PS4 and 170k for XB1 would be true, Playstation is in much better shape.
That would result in weekly adjusted down of 31,5% for PS4 and 25,5% for Xb1.


After coming form a 3 month preoder highly anticipated new color bundle, while the competitor has that bundle (not that highly anticipated but still a new color and some decent demand because of some retailer grant that 50$ pricecut early) this month, would be the real win for the PS4.

Note: this is all my if conclusion. Still not sure, if that numbers are right.



Why Aquamarine was banned?

We don´t have even the "oficial" leaker anymore?



Are we ever getting these numbers? Oh well, at least Boutros gets all these points.

Edit: Looks like we got estimates so far?

Man, VGC without NPD numbers is doomed. They already make mistakes in the hundreds of thousands even when they update with monthly US and weekly Japanese numbers, let alone now. Post holiday adjustments are going to be epic.

i think he requested a ban. i guess he/she was feeling the heat

It's shocking that some people buy into the excuse that NPD can't release numbers for hardware and the software top 10 because they have to protect their business. Given the size of the US market, at least the entire top 100 of the single SKU charts have to be relevant, so that's a lot of raw numbers that are important but wouldn't be public, even if NPD announced the initially mentioned things.

I 100% agree.  Hell, if NPD wanted to make a lot of money, they could create a dedicated page with the HW and Top 10 SW numbers, put a few banner ads on the borders and watch the dough roll in.  I also find it funny that for decades they were fine with just putting the numbers out there for all to see.  Why the sudden change a couple years back?  Personally, i think a few companies/publishers wished the numbers be made private to hide when sales weren't the greatest.

He's banned until the 17th november, he will (maybe) give numbers after that he said.

PS4 / XBO suffered significant, unadjusted, MOM declines. Why else would PR (especially Microsoft PR) be so vague?

So PS4 dropped hard and XBO even harder??? Maybe it can help calculate the ratio between both.
