Yeah. Presumably nearly all PC sales are digital, of course.

I know right? This is so much fun. But the NPD it's self will be so much better.
I demand a recount.
How fast did he check his posting abilities I wonder. I've done that before. #DatFear

Titanfall wasn't out on 360 until April so it won't be in the March NPDs. That is why I'm confused by the question.

People are saying Sony made this announcement due to them knowing that they lost to MS this March. I ask you, how do they know MS's numbers? I thought they got numbers two hours prior to the official NPD release?

I think a lot of outsiders buy PSN cards in US websites because like me when I created my PSN account the Store in Brazil didn't exists so I created one US account... now I need PSN US cards because Sony blocked the Credit Card use (sometimes it works again for some period... American Express... Visa and Master Card didn't work at all).

Big corporations have various ways of finding out how well the competitors are doing, to a certain level of accuracy.

This is the second time this week Bish has responded to one of my posts.
I'm on like high alert right now man, you don't know what it's like.
I feel like any second now this is going to happen to me.
EVERYONE IS GANGING UP ON ME MAN.
You just made my day
Thread-related, I feel that the silence of MS PR is shady. I could be totally wrong, but it doesn't seem too well for them

No worries. Either way be on the lookout for MS' figure for Titanfall. NPD doesn't count the bundles created by MS as software sales.
I'm getting worries that the thread will blow up and everyone will call MS a liar if they report much higher Titanfall sales than NPD due to this discrepancy + digital.

Paypal is your friend. It's how I top up my portuguese PSN account from Belgium.
So... Secret agent Phil?

why iron man?why no tkaz breaking bad gif?
Yeah exactly. I don't see how XB1 surpassing PS4 is going to be possible. Sales for PS4 is going to be higher than last month. Or at least it should be with ISS and MGS GZ being released in March.

I say we get a vote.
The more I see those PSN cards in the top sellers, the more I wonder what the percentage of sales are physical vs digital games right now. That PSN money has to be going to something.
Interesting.

Stock was light so people were going online too to get it wherever they could. MS outsupplied them in December, so it seems the retailer share of stock was at least equal to Amazon, reflecting the overall performance.
You might wanna check. I was able to open a US PSN account with a foreign-issued American Express.

These companies have their own internal tracking methods. It's how Sony can say they sold 7 million PS4s to consumers, not shipped to retailer numbers.

The guy from twitter did say MS won.

I can use my American Express but some times it stop to works for like a month... and so it back to works again... btw the Amercan Express is not that popular here in Brazil, most people don't have one.
Weird because I can use it outside the PSN Store.
I can see MS taking March, Feb was close and that was due to TF hype and there are plenty of XB1 in the retail channel to be snapped up when demand increases. I doubt it will bridge the LTD sales edge and it won't erase the WW LTD sales edge but I can see MS taking March.
I'm pretty certain MS will lose the year though. The momentum of TF is mostly gone and I don't see anything as compelling in 2014.

I don't see Ps4 winning this month NPD but if it does..I can't wait to see Microsoft reaction.

Who is the guy from twitter BTW?
Interesting use of "Microsoft" instead of "Xbox One", as well as the use of the "...."
Xbox 360 sales could be quite good in the buildup for Titanfall on 360 as well, while PS3 sales could collapse due to quicker adoption of PS4.
So the Microsoft family > PS family would not surprise me.
But PS4 > XBO would be a big blow to MS's ego.
I mean at this point, I'll eat a buffet of crow if PS4 wins March, but it really looks like MS won March and many people accept it at this point.
MS won December NPD. Them winning March with Titanfall and price drops would be nothing to go crazy over. Unless it was by 200K. Don't think that's happening. PS4 winning despite all that would cause a mass hysteria.
So......
I'd say the vast majority accept it. I suppose it's just kind of fun to think of the explosion that would result from the "what if?" scenario where that doesn't happen
