April NPD should be interesting

ODST Remake hype! (lol)

But anyway, the month should be "interesting" for other reasons (the usual drop from March to April).

Amazon is out of stock for PS4.(as in they aren't selling it themselves)
That's why it dropped these couple of weeks.

Amazon April charts:

PS4 Batman CE: #25

btw.:

The Standalone PS4 is out of stock and gone, as it seems.

Seems like it will be replaced by the "PS4 + TLOU" SKU for $399, which is in stock.

I blame Batman Bundle for making the Standard SKU drop in April & May.

Edit: Sold Out & Replaced it seems...new bundle making a comeback, currently ranked at 145

[SDCowboy]

Wow, the sold out (at Amazon) stand alone PS4 is currently ranking ahead of the MCC Bone bundle on Amazon? Impressive.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

Wow, the sold out (at Amazon) stand alone PS4 is still ranking ahead of the MCC Bone bundle on Amazon? Impressive.

The other sellers must be making good sales now that Amazon isn't selling it. Still amazing to see it ranking ahead.

 

[SDCowboy]

Mhm. Agreed.

PS4 needs neither games nor stock to outsell the XB1 XD
On a more serious note, because of the stand alone PS4 getting replaced, Amazon may not be such a good indication of sales for April.

 

[truth411]

Tomorrow at 4pm the numbers are released to subscribers. 6pm - 6:30pm is when PR gives any information they want to share.



Back on December 19, Vince said they were aproaching 8 million unique users.

Sales are going to be close to that, and with Christmas and 3 extra months, I'd say it's over 8 million.

Holy cow batman!!! You can't be serious. Counting all platforms including P.C. I'd say more like 2.5 - 3.0 million max.

We all know what the outcome of all NPD threads till September will be though...

PS4 wins

Oh, definitely. The PS4 will undoubtedly win all the way to September. Now October will be very interesting though.

PS4 has been sold out. It's being replaced with TLoU SKU.

Man, alot of you got real excited over this. Best to be a little more humble?

 

[Conduit]

It begins?

Nope! Check again :

PS4 standalone SKU is sold out, but it is ahead of Xbone MCC Bundle.

I think / hope they were ironic.
This threat needs emotions.

 

[labaronx]

Im wondering with all the ps4 bundles and trade ins amazon gamestop and bestbuy have been pushing, have they already lowered the cost to retailers?

And how soon do they find out about price cuts?

 

[StrongBlackVine]

It begins?

No. I know things have gotten boring in the sales threads though with PS4 just cruising again.

 

[N.Domixis]

It begins?

Ps4 domination begins NOW.

That's what I've been wondering. It seems Sony can drop the price any time it wants and is simply maintaining higher margins right now because they can. I no doubt expect a cut for Q3.

 

[DeviantBoi]

When do the press releases start trickling in?

MS usually has them before the actual NPDs drop, right?

We got new details before NPD Thread today, 155k Digital Bloodborne Sales WW

If we put things together we have:

- 1M Sold WW
- 170k in JP Since April 5th
- 830k RoTW
- 155k Digital WW
- 675k Retail WW
- If we consider 50/50 US vs. Europe, we have 337.5k for NPD threads today.

Edit: Not Reliable, disregard if possible.

 

[anexanhume]

btw.
Nobody should care about Amazon's "hourly charts".

They can be useful to determine sales momentum. People tend to look at monthly charts and assume those are updated hourly too, whereas they're updated once a week only. Always check the week view before checking the monthly.

I think many people are saying total sales with their predictions hence including digital.....especially when digital accounted for so much.

EDIT: Is it not reliable?

Ah but you see, if the ratio was 44/56 US vs Europe, we'd have 297k in the US.

Changing the ratio in your favor, I see where this is going

 

[ZhugeEX]

Superdata are reliable enough.

In the same way that steamspy is reliable.

Basically its a good indicator and estimate but far from an official number.

Wise words from our fallen waifu

Be careful, now.

SuperData Research is trying to sell you their data on their website. Clearly they're going to paint themselves in the best possible light.

But they're well known for providing...estimates. Nothing more...just estimates. They're trying to fill a niche. They are by no means definitive, and they have lots of gaps in their data.


Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony do not provide them with any data, I will tell you that right now.

They go around to publishers and beg for data. If you know anything about that strategy, it's usually quite unsuccessful.

So SuperData's sources are a mix of publicly available tidbits through financial reports and developer PR, a couple of publishers who actually give them data, and a TON of extrapolation to fill in the gaps.

I know we are small market, but Asia, Middle East, etc should make up for a portion of that 675k.

If you guys want I can edit the post if it's not reliable?

I usually try to put Europe with Asia in it, It's just Europe is easier to write than Eurasia.

Do they specify the margin of error?

 

[Jamix012]

No it's not. Having unreliable figures touted with any sort of relevance is far worse than no figures at all

Knowing my luck not only will I have a new avatar but my placing is going to utter crap.

Getting pretty hyped to be honest.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Sony PR stated OVER one million.

So, that could be 1,000,001 or 1,200,000. Never know.

I mean it's done now, I doubt you'll get banned for it. It's just the same reason Chartzzz is banned here too

They said 1.1 for Infamous, so I think we'd get the nearest hundred thousand benchmark.

 

[ZhugeEX]

Do they specify the margin of error?

No they do not. But as I said, dont use it as an official or definitive number. Its an estimate at the end of the day in the same way that steamspy is an estimate.

It is based part on real data though, hence why I said its reliable. They're Not just making it up like some do.

Just be careful not to mix them in with official numbers. Always make sure its stated seperately.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

I mean it's done now, I doubt you'll get banned for it. It's just the same reason Chartzzz is banned here too

I'll put a notice just in case.

Thank you everyone for pointing out my failure. Gaf is good.
