What do you mean? Do you have some insider information?
I think he talks about that infamous chart site with guessed numbers we're not allowed to mention on Neogaf.
What do you mean? Do you have some insider information?
Relative to the pedestal MS put the game on, pretty much.
96% Xbox One week-week sales increase means nothing;
20% deserting out of a less than 2000 people survey means a lot.
Totally understood...
It really makes me angry when companies pimp a new game on their console.

Then why say it in the first place if you aren't willing to back up your claim?
Not willing to get banned is another thing than not willing to back something up. The site is known and people can easily check the numbers there.
And? Xbox One sold a shit tonne more than PS4 since then? What were last weeks hardware numbers so we can decide if 96% increase is good?
So a bannable site says Xbox One sold more but the others didn't.... Cool.

People are stating stuff in here as facts that aren't. I haven't. The XB1 did poorly in January in US and picked up in February. Whether that happened in UK as well I don't know.

Has to pass all the checks.Which other sites? Or do you get banned if you back up your "numbers"?
It's that side which shall not be named.
V...V... VOLDEMORT!

I never had numbers just a direct quote.Which other sites? Or do you get banned if you back up your "numbers"?
Here is what you don't seem to be understanding: The site is banned because their numbers are extremely unreliable, and often completely made up.Not willing to get banned is another thing than not willing to back something up. The site is known and people can easily check the numbers there.
One week of doubled sales in February NPD would have been nearly 120k.

Hundreds of thousands of people played TitanFall man, what more do you want.
Where are those insiders? Please let us know the hard data.
He's talking about chartzzz, aka out of his ass. Let's not go down that road.

Not as big a bump as I thought.

Because when you reach near a monopoly companies start taking liberties. e.g coke is very rarely offered by franchise restaurants (it's almost always pepsi) despite them carrying their other products. Why? because it's too damn expensive.
That's the sort of complaency their talking about.
They want more profit that doesn't necessarily mean selling more
Again, you are missing the details. One very big one is that this is the UK and not the US, with weekly February sales in the UK bearing no relevance to weekly February sales in the US.
Also, unless the Xbone had a price-cut in the US the week before this sales boost or whatever it was, comparisons would obviously be off. And there was no price-cut in the US.
To fair and correct, their estiamtes in the last few months were pretty much spot on. But, unless we have hard data, its only guesses and estimates.
One week of sales increasing from, say, 10,000 to almost 20,000 is hardly a game changer. If it ends up being a permanent increase and is a launch pad for better sales, then in retrospect it will mean a lot. It's like if Nintendo said a game cause week to week sales to double: While good, they are still at a disadvantage and it probably won't last. A 1,700 person poll is larger than most Presidential Candidate polls and is a very statistically significant poll. Not the end all, but it is significant. I understand the rhetoric seems to get a bit much, but there is some truth to it.

US and UK markets are the closest in terms of sales trends. This is extremely relevant. A 120K debut weekend in the UK points to 750K+ month in the US NPD.
No price cut in NA, though.

A lot of their estimates are 'recalculated' after actual sales figures come out and shame their original estimates.
They completely got Feb NPD wrong, significantly for both Sony and Microsoft.
