ITT, predict for the NPD November 2015 retail period (November 1-28, 2015) for U.S. hardware sales.
What is NPD?: NPD is one of the main retail tracking firms in the U.S., and also about the only one who specifically goes into detail on video games sales. This thread is to predict what the NPD hardware sales will be for the most recent month. NPD months are defined here, from jvm.
What do I win?: Bragging rights. We also keep track of predictions over the year and have an annual contest using "points." Still just bragging rights, but Sales-Agers have fun seeing how well we can do with it. See here for details on the point calculations.
Prediction entries must be in and finalized by 8 p.m. EST on Tuesday, December 8th. Format use is required if you want your entry counted.
NPD Coverage: November 1-28, 2015 (4 weeks, October was 4 weeks)
