Pretty sure that the tracking ends Aug 29, so MGSV shouldn't show.

The exclusive heavy hitter Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls also won't be in the Aug NPD, so no share will be stolen by Vita this period.



Ohhhhhhhh...

But didn't MGSV release early though?

 

[CosmicQueso]

But didn't MGSV release early though?

Not sure stores breaking street date qualifies as an early release.

Have no idea how NPD would treat street date violations.

This month will be interesting.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

Second thursday after the tracking period ends.

MGSV should be top 2. Destiny will probably be #1.

I'm not so sure... I think MGS should sell 1.5-2 million.
Destiny sold ~3 million last year in 4 weeks or so. Withouth doubt, Destiny TTK Will sell much less in 3 weeks... Will be close, that's sure.

I think we should ban the word "interesting" from NPD threads.

 

[CosmicQueso]

I think we should ban the word "interesting" from NPD threads.

Interesting idea.

I still think XB1 takes August.

I dunno. There were no heavy hitter Xbox One exclusives from Koei released in August to drive that bigger share.

 

[On Demand]

Actually some retailers had other deals for PS4

Gamestop: PS4+ Far Cry 4
Target + Amazon: ACU + Destiny
Best Buy: PS4 + Far Cry 4 or Destiny
Walmart: PS4 + Madden + Free game of your choice + 3 months PS+ (This one is really good)

Huh. I forgot about those.

I still think XB1 takes August.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Yeh, I mean if your console doesn't get a game from Koei during the month then you have no chance of winning.

 

[Shenmue]

I think we should ban the word "interesting" from NPD threads.

From my short time here it seems like "interesting" is just a short hand for months where xbox looks like it'll take the top sales spot. So just read it that way?

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

Yeh, I mean if your console doesn't get a game from Koei during the month then you have no chance of winning.

PS4 also had PSN price raise in canada. Clearly done because they won august so badly they had to increase the price.

 

[On Demand]

You're hilarious.

I think the Bestbuy free TV deal, Madden/Gears bundle will give it the edge.

I think we should ban the word "interesting" from NPD threads.

But then nothing would be interesting. I like when things are interesting. Like August NPD.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

5 hours and 23 minutes to go. also i forgot to add the other platforms, damn it.

 

[Hidden One]

Next few months will be very intras..

 

[Jigorath]

When everything is interesting in NPD threads, that means nothing is interesting. You've all ruined this word. RIP English language.

Nothing is interesting in NPD?

Why yes, I would agree with this.

 

[RedAssedApe]

interesting...

 

[Bolivar687]

It will be interesting to see.

So Skullface is using Neogaf to accomplish his plans, interesting

Correct me if I am wrong

Didn't a retailer insider say the TV deal didn't do shit and MS is losing money on the bundle ?

He said sales were big for that week then fell off.

Interesting isn't an English word anyway technically, we took it from the frenchmen and made it better.

 

[slavesnyder]

It's latin.

 

[Tivor Tontomo]

It's latin.

Shhhhh. We already sent the drones.

 

[slavesnyder]

Shhhhh. We already sent the drones.

To france?
You can do this nevertheless.

 

[Welfare]

It's latin.

That is interesting.

 

[Jigorath]

Latin is a legacy language.

 

[CosmicQueso]

That is interesting.

Latin loses another exclusive.

 

[Blanquito]

These threads always go mad the day that NPD releases. People getting excited but nothing to talk about.

Interesting stuff.

We even don't talk.
Anticipation or desinterest?

Or does everybody else also has Mom for a visit and is blocked, sneaking to the toilet to text...

I guess Latin's market share dropped this month, then.

ooh actually posting your own prediction?

[edit] I'm a moron please ignore.

[double edit] I'm a moron for the last statement. Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.

That's your problem right there, you think we're speak in' English. We ain't.

We speaking American. American's more interesting.

 

[Conduit]

Interesting idea.

There was an exclusive in August for Xbone : a damn TV.

sorry too late predictions are closed. also your format is wrong.

What time does the PR start to trickle out? Got a lot to do today, so I can't stalk GAF as much.

I know you predict the bigger two, but why you never predict 3DS and Wii U?

Hahaha xD

 

[CosmicQueso]

Listen, a lot of TV's are sold. We all know something that mass isn't driving sales. Maybe a 5" black and white walkman? Now if THAT was an exclusive, well then we'd be on to something.

So, sorry. Your point is invalid for making too much sense.

Also, don't make me accuse you of having a narrative and of teaming up with other TV zealots pushing some kind of TV agenda.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Hahahahaha!

I don't really do handheld predictions. Plus Wii U doesn't sell enough for me to care

 

[donny2112]

What time does the PR start to trickle out? Got a lot to do today, so I can't stalk GAF as much.

Anytime from now until 6:30 p.m. EDT (~2 hours from now), but generally closer to 6 p.m. EDT (~1.5 hours from now).

[joecanada]

also your prediction is wrong. How can it be such even numbers? Cmon we want real numbers! 225, 362

Yo, man! You took it seriously! Chill! Just saying that there was an exclusive for Xbone.

 

[Cess007]

Wow, today is NPD day? Dunno why i thought it was until next week. It's this one of those interesting months, or not?

 

[Gurish]

What major exclusives each console had last month? Until Dawn and Gears right?

Gears sold better going by the UK chart and I think it could move consoles by Gears fans who will buy the console early instead of waiting to Gears 4, it should be pretty close imo.

Next month is MGS month and it's most likely an easy win for PS4.

Yo, man! You took it seriously! Chill! Just saying that there was an exclusive for Xbone.

TV's aren't exclusive! I can play TV on all of my consoles!
