Few hours.

 

[Blablurn]

What exactly is going to cause all the commotion?

I figure PS4 is a likely lock for first place, and if for some reason Pachter's prediction comes true, I doubt the XBO will be miles ahead.

So...what's the megaton?

The pendulum will swing back to MS!

 

[vpance]

the hype is real

Lol Geoff knows Pachter couldn't give a shit about all this hoopla.

 

[Dante316]

Few hours.

More like 105 minutes.

 

[IAmRandom31]

the hype is real

Wii U outsold everything

 

[vicissitudes]

I'm tempted to start a thread called "September 2014 NPD thread number of posts prediction thread"

 

[10k]

Actually if you press and hold the small shift key and then hover over to the comma it'll snap right back. One hit comma.

Hmmm, OMG it worked. I love you. Mind blown.

The winner gets an entry spot for the playstation network. those are pretty rare nowadays.

Doritos Pope knows something.

 

[Blanquito]

I'm tempted to start a thread called "September 2014 NPD thread number of posts prediction thread"

Or, if you want something more click bait-y: "Sept 2014 NPD Results for number of posts"

 

[Jimmyfenix]

What if MS pr starts talking about China ?

 

[RowdyReverb]

Doritos Pope knows something.

He knows how to get attention, clearly.

 

[DomsPlaying]

the hype is real

PUMPED!! Let the fun begin

 

[Jigorath]

the hype is real

Am I reading into this too much or is he taking a shot at Pachter's prediction?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Geoff and Pach are buddies. Probably just banter.

 

[Doctor_Thomas]

Basically, if Microsoft came first, their statement will make damn sure everyone knows about it. Similarly, they may not even release their statement first if that is the case.

 

[Eolz]

Looks like I completely forgot to post my predictions. Oh well.

You can still post them but it won't be counted. Lets see what you predicted!

 

[Miles X]

As if XB1 came first! There is gonna be at least a 100k gap between the two.

 

[fastford58]

Argh. I have to work tomorrow which means I can't follow the shitshow if X1 is ahead this month.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

It's more likely a joke reffering to how everyone freaked out about his prediction and are now waiting to rub it in his face if he's wrong.

 

[SolidJum5]

is there a prize for getting it correct? I know it's virtually impossible to get every one exactly correct, but i'm just curious. I submitted mine when the thread was opened, and i completely forgot about it.

 

[allan-bh]

I guess Nintendo will spoke this month, because of Smash Bros.

Bragging rights! B)

No one is freaked out by it just how silly it was.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Silly things spawn 3000+ post threads? There was some anger and freaking out in there, not just laughing it off.

 

[Black Republican]

i wish the WiiU was selling more, lots of great games

 

[Aquamarine]

Right, right, I get that. But are the Big 3 the only ones that get to see console numbers? I don't know what constitutes a "subscriber". Depending on how many subscribers see that data, I'm curious as to why not one of them shares it before the PR.

Again, I'm asking honestly. Thank you for helping me understand. I find it fascinating and I've realized I don't really understand it at all.

Sometimes the Big 3 release PR before the official NPD PR releases.

The simple answer is that it just takes time for anyone to comb through the data and react to it...and have your PR team approve it.

So you're saying there's a chance it could be any milisecond now?

Engage Overhype Mode!

Why do you think the gap would be that big?

nvm, I read your comment wrong.

You win a candlelit dinner with Stumpokapow.

 

[Daviii]

Wow today's NPD is going to be legendary either way

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I choose Y2Kev.

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Excited for the NPD which drops in an hour. I would offer my predictions here but I'm terrible with numbers so they'd just be ridiculously wrong. The only prediction I have is that I think Pachter's going to be correct. Xbox One will win by a small margin. Really curious to see later whether I turn out to be correct. I'm hoping Cream or Aqua will come through quite rapidly after the thread goes up. They usually help us out before the end of the night.

Definitely going to be an interesting one though! T-minus forty five minutes.

Or just release whatever you want without any approval from a PR team, like Ubisoft did recently. /s

 

[SwiftDeath]

Eh it's generally between 6PM and 6:30PM eastern time

Time until PR usually starts coming out

How is 75,000 units [30% higher] a small margin?

Also no one should be expecting leaks soon after the thread is made. There is a reason they wait to give them to us and we have to respect that

 

[Cess007]

In fact, i think that exactly due this "poor-PR-week"; MS and Sony will be extra careful with their statement ^^

oooooo. Well, can I change it to Bish? B)

[REK]

Why didn't Geoff Keighley give the NPD winner away early like he always does?!?

 

[kinoki]

Going to bed now. Expecting either the most flaccid thread ever or melt down of either side's most die-hard knights. Don't disappoint. Have fun.

 

[Loudninja]

Not until its almost time.

You don't think the gap will be that big? I expect close to a 200k gap.

I don't think he's a subscriber, so he waits for PR.

Right posted it minutes before it goes up.

How much is it to be a subscriber?

I think he's just trolling...

You need Neogaf Gold.
