Can someone explain me about NPD and Walmart on this - http://www.npd.com/corpServlet?nextpage=consumer-tracking-walmart-sams_s.html ?

On topic:

Wii >>> DS >>>>>>>> PS3 > x360 >> PSP >> PS2

go back up 1 page and you'll see your answer.

The NPD Group offers comprehensive market research on consumer behavior and attitudes across a wide array of industry sectors. This insight is gleaned from over 3 million individuals who are registered participants in NPD’s consumer panel and have agreed to provide us with this information. 

Through consumer tracking, NPD offers our clients a total market picture, encompassing activity at all retailers, including Walmart.  Consumer tracking also delivers critical insights into market trends and demographics and customer satisfaction to drive strategic planning and tactical decision making, addressing issues such as:

They are estimating walmart/sams based off of 3m participating consumers (who some might not even shop at walmart). You aren't linking us to the magical page that states they get numbers straight from walmart/sams.

He probably got there directly from a google search.

I know NPD does a general consumer sample. (I guess 3 million in size) and match it up vs their direct store esitmations to see how close the two are together.  Guess this is part of that.

PS3 is doing this at $299

I wonder what it will do at $199!

Still less than the Wii at $199 this year, next year and possibly the year after.

Your point being?

Theres no point discussing PS3 sales when the Wii completely overshadows everything else.

Sony Statement: Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla

Microsoft Statement (if they make one): Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla Bla

Its just spin and the only news here is how incredibly massive the Wii is.

His point is obvious darth! WII > PS3.... just like FF13>MGS4 (sometime this year)!!!!!!!!

Wii > PS3

OMG who would've thought!!

______

FF13 < MGS4 in metacritic & in our hearts!

FF13 will be amazing, but it aint gonna beat MGS4, lets accept that fact

{shows picture of sazh & lightning to acevil to convince him}

If people want to discuss PS3/360 sales they can do so.

Not everyone here is interested in what the Wii does, regardless of how incredible it is.

Didn't the 360 Beat the PS3 in Nov. By more than what the PS3 beat it this month. So it's a Draw!

The point is Maybe by Feb they both will do what Nintendo just did!



 

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!

Something called "Bankruptcy" I love the PS3 but a $100 price cut is too much to ask at this point.

All numbers contained in this document are according to the NPD Group, which tracks U.S. video game sales.

Yeah

I don't know what to say

One could still wait for financials

About what? There is a pretty clear disclaimer at the end of the PR

Very obtuse of me to miss that!

Maybe not bankruptcy, but it will be a big money sinkhole.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
