Forums - Sales - When is NPD for December coming out?

Viper1 on 12 January 2009

Not a matter of IF. Wii broke 2 million in November and sales went up much higher in December.

Granted, I just prefer not to speak in absolutes when it is possible to avoid doing so.

out of interest you know Sony said the other day their holiday sales were 130% up on last years holiday? That means if in december they sell less then last december they are officially talking crap right?

 

Sony said their December sales were up 130% over the previous weekly sales, not previous December.  Go look at those reports again.  They wrote the report in such a way that a lot of people made that same assumption.

 

 Ah i see what they did there! Cheers for that

No problem. It was kinda sneaky of them though. When I first skimmed the PR release, I too wondered how they could spout such BS that easily and then I read it closer and deducted the real meaning.

NPD will show a drop in December 2008 over 2007. Sony will rehash the report they just released to show their year over year total increase. Which they did have.....they ended it with a really bad stumble.

Why is PS3 selling less this holiday season than last year?



PC + Wii owners unite.  Our last-gen dying platforms have access to nearly every 90+ rated game this gen.  Building a PC that visually outperforms PS360 is cheap and easy.    Oct 7th 2010 predictions (made Dec 17th '08)
PC: 10^9
Wii: 10^8

1. The console at $400.00 is just a bit too high for the current economy.

2. Compelling competition.

I cannot wait for this. The Wii will be huge(3.6 million) as will the DS(3 million), I expect 360(1.4 million) will do very well and PS3 to continue its slide until its next price cut.
