Forums - Sales - Random Pre-Order numbers from GAF

this list is crap... pure crap. My local GS has much different. (I know, I've seen them two weeks ago). If these are "LTD pre-orders per store average" they are seriously flawed.

This must be from the same source that gave us the 1 million pre-orders for Too Human.



This line was great "Wii Fit sells retardedly... and id like to add something else. 75% of the people who buy it dont have a fucking clue what it does, or they have a subtle idea and just heard it was good."  Nintendo must be laughing so much, they can sell people $90 games and the people don't even know what it does.  I can't even begin to imagine how many $60 wii music games they are going to sell.

ssj12 - Just because your one store is much different doesn't mean the list is entirely wrong. Each store, or stores can have totally different pre-order information. Look at VGC's own numbers and estimates for Infinite Undiscovery - they were wayyyyyy off.

The employee didn't say what store the data was for, but that it was for multiple stores. I'll go out on a ledge and say that it wasn't GS (and he said it wasn't BB either)...I'm going to guess that it may have been a GameCrazy or something similar - a smaller chain with less tolerant policies. Judging by the absolute lack of GH/RB orders, it wasn't something that was mass-market, I think.

 



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

How is it crap? The guy admits the numbers are only from a group of stores for one company. Why would it have to be similar to your local GS? Would you say it's crap if a game like Horsez had a considerably higher rate of sales at Toys R'Us than your local GS? I don't think anybody is using these numbers as anything more than very general indication of fall sales.

Random indeed. I think I could have bullshitted a list with just as "convincing" of numbers. Hmm maybe I should do that for a living like majority people on neogaf as it is.



Yes... I will take this with a grain of salt...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Why we take guys who post in Neogaf seriously? I mean they don't even allow our site name to be mentioned there.

it's pretty foolish to think Neogaf isn't a serious thing. They are probably the most serious around..and they have a lot of industry insiders as longtime members
