Didn't we get MH4 Ultimate digital sale numbers on last month NPD?
Ok, I'll retract what I said then.

Where's the March hype at?! Dullest prediction thread I've seen in a long while - or is that simply because we likely know the outcome, for the most part.

Probably, we all know the outcome so no one is making bets or fighting about being right or wrong. Makes people not want to join in the thread.
The January and February prediction threads were more boring IMO.

Everyone is waiting for October and November threads.
Yeah at least last year we had Titanfall March and the kinectless bundle month to keep npd threads vaguely interesting.
its all preseason now

You sound like MicrosoftYeah at least last year we had Titanfall March and the kinectless bundle month to keep npd threads vaguely interesting.

Were NPD threads this calm during the PS360 era?
Seeing as people routinely knew the result as 360 was generally dominating the USA and PS3 being more of a ROTW console?

Maybe it is the probable lack of leakers.

It was more of the Wii dominating than the 360 really. 360 didn't start to dominate the US until 2011
Yeah. Kinect gave such a huge boost for 360...

Worth a try no? It's the only bet that is worthy for this boring thread.
All is fair haha.
Xbox 360 holiday sales 2006-2014 in the USA

Holiday 2013: 1.3m
Holiday 2014: 0.6m

? It did.
Nah, you're not Mario.
Hold on there champ! You didn't specify retail in your original prediction. I still say fair game for that nacho hat!
It's always boring with out Aquamarine..
There's a part of Aquamarine in all of us.

The most exciting thing about this months NPD is Bloodborne numbers. We all know PS4 kicked the XB1's ass yet again, it has gotten pretty predictable. Unless Sony announces either a pricecut at Gamescom or goes head to head with MS in holiday bundle's, the results for 10 months of the year will be PS4 outsells XB1.

NPD Results can include digital sales, just look at Feb NPD results we got both retail and digital sale numbers from MH4 Ultimate, those are NPD Results. I think its fair game, we'll have to wait for tomorrow though, prepare your hat just in case lol.

I hope we can see some crow eating from Welfare and Chobel tomorrow, hats are also allowed

Like Welfare said, these didn't come from NPD, it was from Nintendo. No hats will be eaten

You really don't want to eat your hat do you? lol
Chobel
Member
I'll gladly eat my hat if BB sells that well, the game deserves it and more. Unfortunately one of the realities of the market is that hard games like BB are just not that popular.
Yes, I don't want to eat any hat

Will there be a PR statement from Microsoft?
What will be the spin?
Will they already start mentioning Halo 5?

"Momentum was good. The third week of March was 2x that of the first week of February."
"Halo 5 was the most pre-ordered MS first party exclusive this month. #HUNTTHETRUTH"
I think nothing will beat the spin of last month about people using Live 3 times more the amount of using other social networks, or something like that. I made me lol so hard

-"Xbox One’s fan base continues to grow with record March sales in the U.S. for Xbox One with more consoles sold compared to March 2014 with great games like Ori and The Blind Forest and Screamride. With great games on the horizon like The Witcher 3 and offerings like The Master Chief Collection Bundle and the hundreds of new ID@Xbox games in development, with plans to make gaming even better on Windows 10 and Xbox...blah blah blah PR SPIN!"
Something like that I guess.

If you define the rules close enough, everything can become a record.
I'm calling it now, we'll get some random fact like "10,000,000 bullets fired in Halo since launch" or "Gamers spent cumulative 100,000 hours on Xbox Live this month".
Microsoft will say something how momentum is good off the back of the price drop.
Sony will talk about how they didn't lose so much money like last time they released a console.
