A 100% record is 'useless'? If it only got it right 80% of the time I'd still put my money on it. But I can see you want to move goalpost here so carry on.

I am not sure how you can disagree with him? on the early days on vgchartz people posted seals clubbed to death if someone made a comment based on the amazon sales.   This month proves why.  I am totally fine that people in the april amazon thread post stuff as 'the gap in sales between PS4 and Xbox will be huge' 'and PS4 is killing it' but it gets annoying when people use amazon for serious sales discussions outside the amazon thread.  

The gap is real big i don't even know 8000 People. JK.

Quantum Break is a massive massive flop. Huge budget and huge advertising campaign and it only sells 150k in 4 weeks with bundles. It also shows how misleading MS PR has become with the QB PR.

I can remember having a convo with jason that it wouldn't hit 2M but when I saw how much MS were pushing the game, I started to agree with jason so I'm really surprised just how bad it's sold. It could of course still sell 2M+ but I think we'll be lucky to see it sell 1M even with heavy bundling.

I Think that the game need to sell well before Gears of War 4's Launch because after that people will forget Quantum Break, and it need to atleast chart in the next NPD.

But did PS4 win NPD? If yes, I can't see how you can disagree with him?

Weird, isn't it. Just goes to show you that something that's 100% accurate can't always be trusted ... and you'd be a complete idiot to discuss this 100% accuracy outside of the Amazon thread.

The PS5 Exists.

E3 is 1 month away they will release Uncharted 4's Sales on E3 (Is the better place to do this) i think that until then the game will have sold 5-6 Millions and they can say that the Franchise reached 35+ Millions of units sold.

I Think that with Uncharted 4 the Uncharted Series already surpassed Megaman series in sales.

Most small devs went digital only since it saves them money, NPD needs to start tracking digital or they will be less important in the near future.

Retail market is now AAA only pretty much while digital is now very indie centric with most games coming from PSN STEAM AND XBL.

Steamspy is invaluable for digital data. I feel something identical for PSN would definitely be possible considering how PSNP works, someone just has to set up the site.
