Forums - Gaming - NPD Just Died On GAF

that's too bad. But the truth is that these leakers have no one but themselves to blame. If not for the petty attention seeking nature of leakers there really are better ways to leak info without the fear/possibility of ever getting caught.

Ah well, let's see how all this pans out.

Well, that sucks.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

RIP in peace vgchartz



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Well this was bound to happen. NPD numbers were making it on to major media sites days after NPD published them some times. A company who sells sales analysis isn't going to tolerate that when it escalates like that.

Why NPD is so restrictive? In Japan its opposite. Perhaps they want to sell data to big companies.

NPD can afford to be so restrictive cause they are the only ones doing this in NA. Japan has like two or three different groups tracking sales. Honestly someone else needs to get on the whole sales tracking game and basically just dedicate a site just for sales tracking. Well something like VGC but accurate.

At least we will always have vgc!!!!



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

Well. I suppose we will still get shipment numbers. Sort of.





Ah well. It's a shame, but we all knew it was going to happen eventually. Aquamarine had mentioned several times in the past that things were escalating with the NPD group and needed to change, but as she said, nothing stuck.

On a side note, how are we going to complain about VGC US tracking now? :p We need reference points, dammit!

A reference to the post would be nice (like all ops that rely on a source - name the source via a link).

At least we do.... at least we do. Still I'd wish for more accurate charts, but ioi is a 1 man army, so I can't blame him for that.
