The usual report on physical sales data will now be combined with digital sales data and issued on July 21 instead of July 14. I think the third Thursday of the month is the new NPD day.

So we gotta wait an extra week every month now:/

You want 5 week months now!!
I know what you mean, yes you have to wait an extra week, but from next Thursday you only have to wait the same amount of days for the next NPD as you do now.
Good. You have no idea now many times i had to repeat 'Second thursday of every month' out loud before it got etched in and 'third Thursday' sounds like an even bigger hassleYou want 5 week months now!!

From that link
Nintendo
That 3DS data is most likely MoM, so it would be <100k.

Cheater!
Hardware data was sent I guess, so it can be leaked later today. We just won't get software data.
Nothing wrong, the deadline was July 19 and i have fairly changed my 3DS prediction. ;P
You should do it too lol.

But for real, if this change the rules and predictions must be closed i'm ok with this, 105K was my prior 3DS prediction.
Nah there are some crazy fire sale deals for xb1 going around so I would be absolutely shocked if xb1 did not win next month

Only on Amazon, unless other retailers are also doing fire sales.
I saw ms store, eBay and I believe Best Buy had a gift card with bundles as well

But that's the usual for XB1 consoles.
I have never seen a XB1 without a giftcard and a game thrown in the bundle since 2015.
Yes but the price was cut to 279 as well not that it is big but still something
Unknown?

Considering no XOs were charting on Amazon except the S(in the 50 range) till the fire sell doubt it will win July. August will be interesting but no notable software and the S isn't outselling the PS4 on Amazon so if it wins it'll be because of a month and half of deferred sells.

There isn't enough demand for XB1 beat PS4 nowadays.

We would need to see just how big the gap was this month before talking about July. I need to calculate the June to July weekly average to be sure, but I believe the average drop is around 20%, so if they were close, then maybe, but if they were far apart, they will stay that way.
Great idea! I'm going to do it too!
I saved off the current predictions as of 9:05 p.m. EDT, just in case for reference. 3DS sales being unknown publicly for last month makes this not as terrible for predictions, as it could be. Since I do know 3DS sales for last month, I will not be changing my prediction that's already out there, and I ask anyone else that does know 3DS sales for last month and has already predicted to refrain from changing your 3DS prediction, as well. PS4 being #1 shouldn't be change too many current predictions, though, so that shouldn't be a big deal.
For future months, looks like we're back to treating the second Tuesday after the reporting period end as the cutoff for predictions. We'll just have to wait longer to get results. For this month, I'll leave predictions open until next Tuesday at 8 p.m. EDT or whenever the first actual numbers start becoming known. Whichever is first. Therefore if you were holding off on making predictions until closer to the deadline, you probably want to go ahead and just predict for June's period.

Okay, predictions are closed, then! (o_o)

Did I miss the deadline?
I posted my predictions (last edit) 2 minutes before Aquamarine's data.
Your post was before.
Everything is down YoY.
