Hmm...and that's with a PS3 and 360 version, correct?

If I recall correctly, those skus were butchered (MP only) and did very little/were dad at retail.

corect, but without bundle sales
this year tho, there is no cod bundle in the us, so it won't matter
the split last year:
xb1 ~42%
ps4 ~41%
360 ~11%
rest is ps3 and pc(not meaningful in any way)
Ohhh yeah that's right, I remember that now! lol
Gotcha, thanks for the info, so PS4 was 41% because bundles aren't counted I assume.

the limited edition BOIII bundle sold ~250k last november
i expect between 2 and 3 million call of duty launch month sales this year.
no more last gen, increasing digital share and the overall decline for the series are potential negative impacts
early discounts is the only potential positive impact on this years performance vs last year.
at least to my knowledge and understanding.

My guesses are probably way too high. What was I thinking...
Ohh, right...I wasn't and posted in the last 3 mins.
Pretty sure I nailed the NES numbers though.

Are you implying that I think the same will happen again? Because that isn't what I said. It simply reminds me of last year.

Haven't we been saying this is the year that all consoles generally decline though? So a YOY drop would be expected no? I forgot if it was the 3rd or 4th year in a console's life

the first year, xbox360 declined in the us was full year 7.
right now we're in full year 3.
the xbox360 was an outliner obviously.
afaik full year 4 is the general decline. year 3 is peak

Software decline is obvious as people will buy loads of UHD movies instead.
Then we find out who killed Laura Palmer.
Except fungal growth between your toes.

Laura Palmer or Luckey Palmer, they are both dead to me.
They did announce best sales in Playstation history for BF. What that means in relation to the completion we don't know.
I think they talked about worldwide and not USA specific. So it's entirely possible that they had the best sales period worldwide and not the best sales in USA.

Was that just ps4 or did that include "PlayStation" family with pro, slim, and vr all included? And revenue or units? Revenue would seem to be easy considering 2 @ 399 each and one at 299 if its the entire PlayStation family.

Hopefully both with announce best revenues ever for November. Course that won't help us with units so we'd be screwed lol.

It was just PS4 so Slim and Pro. Revenue would seem hard as the big mover was cheaper than ever before.
PS4 and PS4 pros are both considered PS4s.

Maybe there won't be any PR?

I'm going to guess we'll have something (related to who took the month) within the hour.
And then, the wait for numbers will start.
Cream and Pies will save us!
(Maybe)

I used to read the NPD PR at 18:30 here but I guess it is because we are in the summer time that means 19:30... maybe in 30 minutes.
Ohhhhh thanks... good job there... really excited.

I was wondering, as a numerical analyst, what kind of fields of maths do you utilise? Is it mainly statistics? Anything about numerical optimisation?
slavesnyder

I hope fortune-tella will at least give us a few bits and pieces to chew on.

The range of it is basic math, along with some correlation stuff and some multivariate regression stuff. My job is to find the stories in the data that help clients better understand the market and how they can apply the findings to their businesses. We have data scientists that do all of the heavy lifting and more advanced modeling, projecting, etc. My job is to know how to use what comes out of the data factory and apply it to business needs. I don't even know what numerical optimization means if that helps.
Natural to think that I guess, but I'm not involved in data security. I post here for fun and because I've always wanted to and never really could when I was in publishing. I get it though, trust is an earned thing, normal to be suspicious and all that.
I bought one yesterday, so who knows, this might be true for December.

Buuuut, since you posted a John Wick gif, I'm going to go out on a limb that all of that is a cover up, and you're actually a NPD hitman waiting for the wrong person to leak the wrong thing.
