NPD is from jan 2009 A YEAR OLD
130,000 in jan 2009 VC sales picked up since april nothing wrong

No, the Jan 2009 leak had VC at 74k.   The 130k is from November (not last NPD, sorry).


According to VGC almost half of the games current American sales came in the last 7 weeks. November data obviously isn't of much use here. Just wait for Sega to give their quarterly report.

5. Super Street Fighter 4

*figure from Jan 2009

How recent is the 130k figure?

It seems like VGC always overtracks the RPG's...

Last NPD recent.  It's obscenely overtracked on VGC.

Source = Anihawk = Very sarcastic guy on GAF who has no access to NPD data.

Er... Ani's the source of like half the NPD leaks on the internet.  People at GAF literally ask him for the numbers...

He's also the original source for the DSE leak, the Spirit Tracks leak, RE DSC leak, FFCC leak...

You're thinking of creamsugar. Anihawk does not have access to NPD data, not unless he very recently got access to it.

Nope, Ani leaked ALL those.  He's basically taken over for CS since this last summer... he and several other longtime GAFers share the leak.

Nope, but you can believe what you want if it'll help you sleep better at night.

The game's out of stock and pretty much every electronics and toy retailer (Wal-mart, Best Buy, TRU, etc), and has been for months.  Gamestop's the only major nationwide who seems to even carry it, and then even it varies store to store and is unavailable online.  

What happens if it's not mentioned in the quarterly report?  Just like it's never been highlighted in any of Sega's IR reports after the Q1 2008 interim results (where Sega said domestic sales were "steady")?

could you explain to us why are u going agains VGC numbers with numbers from US and Japan alone? there are other countries you know? WW numbers is what we want.

 

i love to see how valkyria chronicles is doing well, i loved that game.

i'm playing Lost Odyssey now, on my bf Xbox360, and gotta say i like the game. it's a good example of a game that would've sold so much more on the PS3, it's a shame.

lol. Head to GAF, you find Ani's the source for REDSC, Saboteur, FFCC, Zelda ST and pretty much every recent leak.  creamsugar hasn;t been leaking for months now...

jarrod relax vgcharts tracks sales if an upgrade happens we will find out sooner or late

Well, that's why I'd like to see some shipment data.  Then we'll know for sure.

The NPD leaks, general lack of stocked product and virtual silence from Sega on the matter just leads me to think it's probably pretty overtracked here.  If I'm not mistaken Lost Odyseey was also significantly overtracked here, and that wasn't rectified until MS gave out an updated shipment figure?



Still, while I enjoyed both games immensely, I don't quite get the comparison. It's like comparing Command and Conquer to Mass Effect. They're not similar at all. A strategy game is nothing like an RPG. You can call Valkyria a Strategy RPG, but it has ZERO rpg elements!

Creamsugar leaked just this past November saying GTA CW bombed on PSP. XXXX was his clue. Another credible one that has leaked a couple of NPD number is Dragoona. Most seasoned GAffers don't believe Anihawk's leaks, he gets away with posting shit like that because the mods don't mind him and because anyone with half a brain can look at his tag and see that he's BSing just to see people's reaction. Like I said, you can believe whatever you want if it'll help you sleep better at night, I think it's cute and adorable how you call him Ani though.

I'll let you in on a little secret; Dragona and Anihawk are looking at the same "leak".
