I'd expect nurples to be up at least 17%.

I hope it's not too late. Follow the format in the OP, lose the ":"
Bro, me and Welfare posted the numbers in the first page... Anyway, Wii U sold 242,000 last year. 220,000 in 2013.
How well to toys to life games sell anyway? I don't remember hearing the numbers for those. DI and Skylanders obviously sell pretty well, but is Star Wars holiday fever enough to push the several months old DI up to >600K? Well, it's certainly not unbelievable.
Assuming the baseline for charting software this month is 600K and Minecraft is flat YOY, would that really put it in range to chart? I'd certainly believe it, and I can't think of much else that could beat it, but that would still be extremely impressive.
Hm, if Battlefront really did underperform, I wander if there's a chance that one of the sports titles beat it. Unlikely, but we've been surprised before.

Infinity 3.0 and SuperChargers were both running at $35 or so for Black Friday, certainly an attractive enough price point to get in the range.
I'm super interested in seeing if this happens.

So much pressure, I still haven't made up my mind and I can't screw it up if I want to have a slightly chance to make it into the overall top 10 this year.

What the fuck is happened with you'r 3DS prediction!? O.O

Alea iacta est!
I refined my numbers a bit (lowered Nintendo Wii U and 3DS) but I kept my bet on Xbox One winning the month.
I know it is quite unlikely, but that's the only way for the 10 extra points for correct order to be useful to me if I want to climb the ranks. I'm too far away from top 10 and there is only 2 predictions left.

Well, the way I'm going with posting and editing my predictions and still not getting the format right after all this time and having errors kindly pointed out to me, then I dont deserve to participate in these prediction threads anymore
Too late to edit out the ":"
Rules are rules, and it's my stuff up.

From the OP

NPD Release: Thursday, December 10th @ 4 p.m. EST (thread posted ~6:30 p.m. EST)

October had all the Halo talk with it's numbers a week after launch and the PR associated with that.
November hasn't really had much outside of MS PR.
It's in the OP but I guess people just click reply these days.
Wait does that cover the entire Black Friday period ?
Welfare
Member
The 29th and 30th are tracked for December, so November NPD will not include the final day that the PS4 and Xbox One were $299 (Sunday) and Cyber Monday.
Did last November cover those days ? If so I can see the numbers being down

Yeah, it also ended up being a Black Friday deals talk as well. I mean, we were posting Black Friday deals/ads and everything in it.
Welfare

NPD tracks months in a 4 or 5 week period starting on Sunday and ending on Saturday. Last year, November did not have the 1st (was in October's tracking) or the 30th (December), so the same amount of days were tracked for this year and last year (28).
Aight here are my SW predictions
I think Halo could possibly bump Assassin's Creed out of the top 10. Destiny could also be a potential contender given the holiday discounting it saw.
- Call of Duty: Black OPS III (XB1, PS4, 360, PS3, PC)
- Fallout 4 (PS4, XB1, PC)
- Star Wars: Battlefront (PS4, XB1, PC)
- Madden 16 (PS4, XB1, 360, PS3)
- NBA 2K (PS4, XB1, 360, PS3)
- FIFA 16 (PS4, 360, XB1, PS3)
- Disney Infinity 3.0 (360, WiiU, XB1, PS3, Wii, PS4, 3DS)
- Minecraft (360, XB1, PS4, PS3)
- Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XB1, 360, PS3)
- Assassin's Creed Syndicate (PS4, XB1, PC)

I think the point was they missed Sun-Mon of the Big Weekend this year, but it looks like the same happened last year, and I suspect that's always the case.
Welfare

Yes it has always been like that when Black Friday is in the final week of November, which started happening consistently after 2008.

I didn't say numbers I was talking about chart rankings on websites.

The gap in NA isn't big enough for such thoughts.
Also, too early to predict for December, depends on how November is, one more day until that. Also I wonder if MS will keep the price because while I see sony going back up, I don't think MS is found of raising the price two times in a row in the same holiday season after last years experience.
.... How many times do we need to say the same damn thing? Look at my tag ye fools and despair. Then kindly cease and desist all reference to SW charts as a valid it meaningful metric for sales in any way.
