Forums - Sales Discussion - July 2017 NPD Thread! Switch #1

Turkish on 15 August 2017

Guys the data here is public, banned people and Gaffers lurk this forum (even if they can't admit it due to the elitist bullshit), hell a lot of people here are members there, it's not the first time they've taken numbers from vgchartz. Especially with last month data has been given that will be useful for years to come.

Fuck. Ethomaz cross-posted numbers on NeoGAF when I specifically said not to do that.

Someone tell him off when you get a chance.

I'm gonna watch my back for the NPD goons who lurk over there.

Wish me luck, boys! I'm out.

Thanks for the data. But change up the numbers, give percentages, pie charts etc, cover your tracks man.

I won't comment on bananaking post because I totally agree with what he said.

About librarian trying to protect himself either give the numbers to the PMs and you shouldn't even give precise numbers. Just give like PS4 and Switch tied around 220k, Xbox bellow 100k and things like that. The exact numbers is irrelevant compared to the order of magnitude.

Donny2112 will post prediction results (he has his own source for numbers), and then we can run a parametric analysis to backtrack out Xbox One numbers.

I didn't reveal them for two reasons:

(1) I really couldn't care less about the Xbox One and its growing irrelevance in the market pre-Xbox One X release

(2) They will be able to be calculated anyway, so I want to expose myself to as little liability as possible in case I get interrogated by NPD goons.

 

I'm not here to fuck up NPD's business. I'm just here to help by giving a few essential numbers. That's why I hoped people would respect the only request I had (keep it off the place NPD employees actively lurk for a little while), instead of blatantly giving me the middle finger. But hey, what can you do. C'est la vie.

You sound like an attention whore.

You are also not the brightest bulb in the room. If you were, you wouldn't say the underline and follow it by the bolded.

US Was the only territory MS could claim for their own, and now they're selling the worst there.

Hardly that XB1 is selling any better in Europe or especially in Japan compared to US.

I believe he is being specific to Xbox being expected to be number 1 un USA but now being 3rd throughtout the year.

Something something hourly usage of Xbox live
Something launch of spotify
Something thank you.


They'll continue to pretend that YOY growth of Xbox live is impressive when it's obvious as they've had a year of sales and therefore a year of new users.
