I didn't get the numbers from google. But I see you're going to continue trolling and trying to derail the thread.
Given the fact that you can't even explain contradictions between publicly available NPD data that have been circulating online since forever and your statements on those very data, it really seems you got these data from the Web and that's it. You don't have access to NPD data. Otherwise, you can explain:
1. the exact date these data are referring to;
2. why in September 2005 we had, according to NPD (numbers you even confirmed!), Paper Mario above 600.000 units and Star Ocean 3 above 500.000 units and these games are missing from you list if your list is "around when 360 launched"?
3. Where's Parasite Eve, from which even Square confirmed a high shipment in the US and NPD confirmed it sold 500.000+ units?
If you wanna post a list and being reliable you should explain those contradictions.
You have no idea what you're talking about, you're taking separate posts out of context trying to create a narrative no one else has been confused about.
Then, why you don't answer to any of these questions?
First fact:
you can't exactly pin down the date of tracking. You post data
without knowing to which period these data are referring to. October 2005? November 2005? Who knows. Around when X360 launch---pretty arbitrary date.
Second fact: the list is missing notable games that were present in NPD list shared back then---games like Parasite Eve, for which even Square confirmed a high shipment in NA (surely above 500.000 units).
You can't explain the lack of such games.
Third fact:
you're arbitrary excluding games because in your personal opinion are not jRPGs---even if they fall in the category, like Final Fantasy Tactics.
Fourth fact, which is the funniest: you wrote: "Paper Mario 653,839 only buy the end of the year of 2005 which is a bit later than this threads cut off point. That's why it's not on the list. Star Ocean 3 sold 514,967 late at the end of 2005 so would also be after the cut off date." but the same list from which you got these data listed THE SAME GAMES WITH THE SAME SALES IN OCTOBER 2005!
How can these data be "at the end of 2005" when in October 2005 these data were circulating online?
These are the contradictions of your statements. I'm not denying these are NPD data: I have problems with what stated above.
You just told the previous poster these are NPD numbers and criticized him for saying "it seems they are accurate" and here is the quote:
Wait: I asked him why he was thinking they "seem accurate" because he didn't mention NPD and it seems that he thought they seems accurate for arbitrary reason.
Oh, the list is not accurate because it is missing games. Paper Mario sold 500.000+ as of September 2005 as mentioned by the same list from which you got these data!
You're full of crap, stop derailing the thread or get reported. There's been a ton of new troll users coming out of nowhere and you seem to be campaigning to run for the sames office.
NPD numbers are accurate. The thread will continue without you, continuing insulting and aggressive posts from you will be ignored.
I'm just stating facts.
You can't answer any of those contradictions. If you want to discuss about data you should be able to answer, simple and clean. Numbers are accurate, the list is not as explained.
Why not? What is wrong with NPD? Why do you even care? I can make a comment and a personal opinion about whatever I want.
I think the list seems accurate. If you don't I could care less. Are you the Internet accuracy police?
I just think we can't judge numbers by ourselves. I trust data only if coming from an official source. If I don't know the source I don't even care whether data "seem" accurate or not. From your post it seems you considered the list as accurate not because data were coming from NPD but because of your personal feelings.
Also, the list is missing a lot of games according to NPD itself: Paper Mario on GameCube, Final Fantasy Tactics and Parasite Eve on PS1, Star Ocean 3 on PS2.
