The Order is the first single platform game in the chart.

If you ignore MH4U and MM 3D lol.

MH4U is below The Order, but yeah he already admitted he forgot MM3D.

It sold more on xbox in the US. ww easily more on ps4. But I think vgchartz tracked them right in the US?

somebody on gaf posted about it:

"NPD has to draw strangely arbitrary lines to keep their business model going, so it's not that far a stretch. What's the point in paying them for numbers if you can't use them in limited ways? Being able to share them and inferences drawn from them with a limited audience is part of what makes subscribing to the information worthwhile in the first place. So you can't ban that outright without losing all of your customers. They're stuck trying to limit disclosure to the public instead, which is where the forum becomes a clear violation they can clamp down on.

Presuming they don't know what other channels Aquamarine has in mind makes it impossible to claim any specific infringement. It's not like they can claim they need to see all private correspondence without pissing off their subscribers. So while it seems like Aqua is courting more trouble it's also obvious he likes to irritate the NPD at every opportunity so this is consistent, too."

 

 

it seems like she likes to deliberately piss off the npd group, but they can't do anything about it if it's private.

 

"continue leaking on the secret base" could mean like giving numbers to internal chase employees who happen to be on gaf. it could mean anything and npd can't demand to know all private uses of their data. seems like they can only do things when it's public, like when it's posted on gaf or here.

It still doesn't make sense because she doesn't pay for the NPD data, her company does, the company shares the info with their employees (her), she wants to share that info with 3rd parties (favored gaf members) who aren't employees of the group that pay for the subscription (JP Morgan).

The way she is sharing it from now on is like meeting up with a gamer friend for coffee and telling him/her the numbers in a private converstation. It might be technically breaching a ND agreement but no one is ever going to know or be able to enforce it. Leaking the numbers directly on gaf is like taking out an ad in a newspaper telling people the numbers, or telling people how to find out the numbers for free. Clearly something that NPD and Chase can find and trace back to the leaker and bring the house down on her head.

Pretty easy to understand really.


It doesnt matter how she's doing it, sharing it with someone who is not meant to see it is still a breach of the contract. You don't threaten to continue doing what you did after getting caught red handed. No you stay the hell out of it, you don't need lengthy outro posts that the npd overlords are reading which hilariously threaten to do it more. Especially when your livelihood is on the line.  I don't believe what she wrote there.

It deserves it,I hope that it will be the best selling handheld zelda game globally or at least in the territory that its being obssesively loved,the USA  or just the best selling 3ds zelda game!:P

The Order was tracked fine but almost everything else was undertracked.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

MM is a remake, therefore multiplatform. And The Order > MH4U. So etho is technically right.
