I mean, after all, NPD wasn't accurate anyway or something, and Wal*Mart, don't forget about Wal*mart.

I bet he's dancing right now, he can make deals with Gametrailers and whatnot to supply them with bullshit numbers since they don't have the real numbers anymore. ioi will join Pachter and the other douchebags on the Bonus Sales Round coming November!Segata Sanshiro said:It ain't gonna happen. The owner has bad blood with this forum. And without NPD numbers to correct his cheesy guesses, his numbers are going to off by more than ever now.
You're just saying that because Killzone 3 sold under 50k copies.MrPliskin said:Thank god. Sales age spilling over into other threads always annoys me :lol

Yes, there was a deal. David M. Riley is pretty much a lying fuckwad.elrechazao said:Didn't gaf have some kind of formal or informal "deal" with npd that "we won't release full numbers leaks if you throw us a bone and provide some minimal numbers we can discuss" Or was that generally the thought behind their releasing of any numbers in the first place? Seems like all bets will be off now, and if not on gaf, they'll at least be out there even more since there is no "release" valve for the desired information anymore.
tldr? Squeeze harder to control the info, more will slip out than you originally were leaking.

People who use numbers accurately aren't trolls. The people who now can freely make shit up about numbers will love it, and nobody will be able to point out their bullshit.Reginald P.

A lot of the sales people on neogaf use sales as troll fuel so if this cuts that sort of thing down then it'll make neogaf a better place to actually talk about games. "But will it sell?" Who cares.

Cheesemeister said:1. People are too cheap to pony up on a regular basis for such an expensive subscription.
2. GAF is a public forum, and supposedly only the related parties may announce their own numbers publicly.
You think people will stop caring about what games sell? Or do you think they'll still care and just make shit up to back up their agenda that can't be disproven with objective numbers?Reginald P.

I saw a bunch of 360s, but no PS3's at my local Walmart the other day. Therefore, PS3 is selling better and nobody cares about 360 anymore.Pureauthor said:If you think for a second that less information will lead to a decrease in fanboy nonsense you are completely delusional.

If you don't care, then don't come into sales threads...Reginald P. Linux said:I think this is great.

Every NPD thread ever proves this wrong. The second one of those goes up you see a lineup of gifs and snide comments used only to troll. The numbers being accurate doesn't make it not trolling.

Yeah, everyone has pointed out how illogically wrong you are, and trolling doesn't mean what you apparently think it means.Reginald P. Linux said:Every NPD thread ever proves this wrong.
