Sure you can. There have already been games on the 360 that required a harddrive even though some models didn't have one.crazygambit said:You really can't make a game sold for a certain system not work on said system anymore (though working of future versions of the system is quite another matter).

Oh, and no, they wouldn't get lump-sum data from Wal-Mart.
charlequin said:Well, first off, NPD is absolutely getting per-store data from at least some retail partners (and is using this in formulating their estimates), but furthermore: who said it was more than NPD was getting? What NPD does to produce their numbers is a ton of work requiring a lot of raw information about the source of the numbers they're working with and a fairly large amount of institutional knowledge. A publisher or hardware company can't easily duplicate that just by placing a few calls to retailers, which is the entire reason NPD can charge for extraordinarily expensive subscriptions in the first place.
NPD said:Our sales data, insight on entertainment trends, and industry analysis are based on both point-of-sale (POS) and consumer panel market research.

They're very likely to release Reach numbers in their commentary.Corto said:Move, Reach and its effects on Xbox 360 overall numbers.

Who gives a shit about dem, amirite?
I really wish you'd stop posting here if you're not interested in NPD threads in the slightest. GAF isn't only about video games, it's also about the industry, so why don't you leave the latter to those who're interested and go:Andrex said:I can only hope you get help soon.

You just don't care soooo much.Andrex said:Regardless of what the numbers are it's not like we can act on them. It makes no difference if the numbers are released or not, they only really matter to the game companies.
Ew, you're pro-Andrex? You are definitely out of the gang now.Boney said:In the perfect world, they wouldn't.
btw, leave my hunky poke freak alone.
