April 2016 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes May 10th

jroc74

Phone reception is more important to me than human rights
GTA at 5. Unstoppable. UFC, Primal, MKX in top 15. Interesting month.

Dayum, GTA V and Minecraft are from the MacLeod clan, they're immortal.

GTA and Minecraft....I have no more words left ......there are no more words left to describe....

At this point I would be shocked when they finally stop charting in the top 10. Or should I say if they stop charting in the top 10...

And R&C doing so well...seems there is an audience for that type of game on PS4. So thats a good sign. Sony has to be happy about that.

not sure what the final NPD number is (versus my data), but it's the fastest selling Ratchet yet.

Add the crazy digital share in and we definitely are way ahead of any other Ratchet game's first 3 weeks.

Congrats.

Depends on who makes it. If by some miracle Naughty Dog made it, it would probably be a huge success. But Activision might be stupid enough to think they could put out another shite post-ND sequel as if it's what people are asking for. If they're smart they'll license or just sell the IP to Sony. They have to know that people don't want another Activision Crash game, right?

Yeah but it's Sony who's throwing the punches and the
two playable Crash levels in Uncharted 4 was the epitome of that.

FOr the sake of my own sanity I hope I am way off on 3DS this month

XB1: 160k
PS4: 187k
WiiU: 39k
3DS: 109k

Otherwise my formatting mistake may have screwed me out of my first ever NPD win which is just too depressing to contemplate right now.

Hmmm. Curious situation this month. All the numbers are now "public," but the results cannot have numbers attached to them, because I had already gotten the number via other means. Lesson for me: Wait longer before trying other ways to get prediction results! (^_^)

Note:
Rankings are just a counter, so if two people are tied, it isn't shown here.

Well good at least it was an awful month for me so my formatting mistake doesnt sting as much. The sales gods have smiled upon me this day.

Doing so terrible this year.

Getting optimistic on how well the price drop for the XB1 would do hurt me a lot. Was so close on PS4 and Wii U.

Congratulations, Cow Goes Moo!

Oh shit! Number 1 for points.

That makes my terrible start to the year better.

Well done Cow Goes Moo for the units win.

Thanks Donny for running this.

Came in top 10 in units. Not bad, but I'm still quite behind in the overall. Congratulations to Cow Goes Moo and orfax!

Congrats Cow Goes Moo, orfax e Chobel... the overall TOP3.

Let's check my painful performance :p

[3DS] 130k
[PS4] 210k
[WIU] 45k
[XB1] 190k

Bold predictions...

- Ethomaz won't be first
- SFV > 40k
- DS3 will be first with > 400k
- R&C > 250k > QB > 150k
Well 3DS disappointed me a lot... the others did less but fine... I was too optimistic in a mouth that I was not feeling the right way.

Bad predictions all about hardware :(

Surprised software I did a bit better...

DS3 did 505k... SFV is yet unknown... R&C was close enough to 250k and QA did less than 150k.

Let's gear up in May to not loose the yearly to Chobel :D
 
I mean you're right it's equally as funny when Sony boys use that excuse when an Xbox sku of a game outsells the PS4 counterpart. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Or is this somehow different? Lmao.

He has regional sales data for the store he works at. He knows if it moved the needle.



It is somehow different lmao, you were talking about Quantum Break, a platform exclusive, then you quickly transition to multiplatform game sales. Goal Post much?
