Yes, I mention it all the time. Tomorrow I get unbanned. Can't wait to go back. 

What were you banned for?


Making a very imature joke towards the devs at ubisoft. This happened during the launch last year. Banned for 4 months lol.

Not necessarily 'cause Amazon doesn't give us numbers and we don't know how much 10 position gap represents in numbers.

Plus nobody created an algoritm to extrapolate numbers based on amazon's best sellers yet. (I think ioi should start using amazon best seller as a factor in his algoritm.)

We don't have that information, but most businesses that would pay for NPD data has enough information available free of charge to make a reasonable estimation. Indeed who actually needs NPD's information for any actual business purpose?


It's valuable to know how your competetion is doing.



Zelda in TOP 3...Possible 500k in USA and 1m ww first week? :O

But do you need to know exactly how your competition is doing in just one (albeit the biggest) market? With all major retailers showing best seller lists on their websites, and Amazon compiling its rankings into weekly and monthly lists you have enough free information and internal data to have a reasonable idea of how the competition is doing relative to you.

It seems like the only reason for NPD to exist any more is monthly PR about US sales, and gamers who like to talk about sales.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse finally made it into the top 100! It's #96. Probably won't make it past #50, but at least it's in now.

Also, Evolve now at 38 XBOne and 47 PS4.



Nearly all games on the PS4 seem to be moving up the charts.

Wow, everything moving up - PS4 at number 7, XOne at 13, and The Order at 16.

I thought PS4 was at 7 earlier today? I am not too sure, but I thought it was.

 

OT: Evolve seems to be taking a nose dive. Guess Turtle Rock and 2K need to discuss what went wrong with the game and how to improve. Makes me wonder about BattleBorn. Other than that, nice boosts so far and congrats to Kirby and The Rainbow Curse breaking into the Top 100. Hope the launch yields success! :)

Same mistake UBI made with AC Unity. They signed a marketing deal with the console whose user base could care less about that genre. If I am a marketing manager I am not doing an XB1 deal for anything other than an FPS unless MS really opens the bank.
