Forums - Sales Discussion - In progress NPD predicting tool

At the moment I am believing the first chart, just because I dont see PS4 being just behind MS in September... at the very least it would have a good gap between the two because of Spiderman...

Yes and no. 

There is one important thing not taken into account in those charts, PS4 has something like 200 points/day (don't remember the exact number, it is somewhere in the thread) due to Spiderman preorders from previous months.

I will consider 4 scenarios for September sales 1) All numbers - previous month preorders, 2) All numbers + previous month preorders, 3) All numbers - PS4 million - previous month preorders, 4) All numbers - PS4 million + previous month preorders.

I know this is a bit difficult to follow but best method will be chosen based on NPD data and hopefully, we will have only one set of data in the future. If I had to guess right now, I would chose number 4.

Option 4 is definitely the best imo.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

PS4 will dominate September.
