Can't we just continue using NPD in the titles here ?

I will probably end up using both going forward.

The new name seems way off to me, "The NPD Group" was a perfect fit for a company doing market research, Circana sounds more like... the name of an AI or something. Maybe all their estimates will be AI generated from now on?

But since I'm here I'll place predictions as well:

Revenue: 445k

[PS5] 525k
[NS] 275k
[XBS] 240k

sounds like a cross between  a circus and some kind of a bug.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

PS5: 600k
Switch: 300k
Xbox: 225k



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

That is why the name sounded familiar to me! Cicadas!

Any more predictions?



trunkswd on 27 March 2023

As Cosmic mentioned it is time to get in your final predictions with NPD coming out on Wednesday. 

If anyone is wondering I will keep labeling this threads as NPD with Circana (the new name of the comapny) also mentioned.

Just thjnking out loud:

You know looking around and on Amazon and other sites I think we are all putting the Xbox closer to the Switch then it should be. Myself included.

If it turns out that the Switch beats the Xbox in $ sales in Feb we will know for sure we have Xbox too high because with the Forza bundle (#1Xbox) there is simple no way units can be that close and Switch take the $$.

If however Xbox beats Switch on $$ then our close predictions and more conceivable.
