NPD February 2012

218k seems in line with my 200k~300k prediction :P And I just won my SW Bet :cool:

Lol @ all the cows that said it would sell more than 500k. So now we know that it's a flop in Japan and the US. Now to confirm European floppage. For comparison, the 3DS sold 396k in its first four days at the same price point.

What happened to psp sales? They stopped tracking it or was it just so bad that they left it off the list?ninjapirate2000

• Resident Evil: Revelations - less than 100K

This is highly disappointing. It even had a demo that played really well.

It has two things going for it: a) survival horror elements b) proper iteration of a popular franchise, not a railshooter spinoff

So the Vita launch, what people expected? Also, when does the new iPad launch, would it effect Vita sales?

Seems like no 3DS game has cracked the top 20.

I was expecting Revelations to do so.

[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"]Wrong. Nintendo sent out a press release showing that Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 sold over 100k for Feb. 2012 So, if Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 aren't in the top 20, and sold over 100k but Uncharted is in top 20, that means everything in top 20 and some games outside sold more than 100k.Slashkice

He said new software.

• No NEW 3DS software sold more than 100K
• I haven't seen anything that says MK7 or SM3DL aren't in the top 20
• What they sold has NO BEARING on what Resident Evil: Revelations sold

The source is known to be legit.

Yea, I already edited my post. Misread. Was Resident Evil confirmed to not be Top 20?bonesawisready5

No one knows where Uncharted is in the top 20. It could be number 20. It could be higher.

Anecdotal evidence much? And like it or not, the FEBs were included in the NPD.

So is the Vita doomed?

me for the 12th month running. "ugh! please quit selling so well 360 so they will feel some pressure to release the nextbox!"

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply.

It's always been known that NPD numbers are estimated sell-through based on high level retail data.

And their coverage now includes both Walmart and Sam's Club.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"]"NPD covers roughly 60-65% of the U.S. retailers.[7][8][9] It notably does not cover Toys R Us (since Oct 2007), Wal-Mart, and Sam's Club retailers" and others...:lol: "they do estimate Wal-Mart and other retailers' sales using various algorithms and estimations" :lol::lol::lol: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_GroupEponique

selective data FTL !! :lol: and only in a tiny part of the world :lol: in other news, PS3 destroys 360 in Canada.PinnacleGamingP

Xbox 360 sells more than PS3 in Canada and other Anglophone countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand)...Eponique

The UK is XBOXLand.

[QUOTE="PinnacleGamingP"] :lol: no. and LOL @ 60% is enough. and bigger LOL to thinking walmart makes it 90%. a weak lemming is a weak lemming.Eponique

[QUOTE="lawlessx"]360's on top again? how does this keep happening?shinrabanshou

11 million more people have a 360 than a PS3, that number will only grow.

Kingdom of Amalur did 330k. Pretty good I guess. Azura's Wrath did 36k and Syndicate did 34k

[QUOTE="Eponique"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] I wasn't talking about digital games, no. Those I know can't be tracked. I was wondering if systems and games sold through, say, Amazon, or Gamestop.com, Bestbuy.com, Newegg.com, and so on, are all included in the tracking as well.bonesawisready5

No

Those numbers have always been estimated, what the inclusion of WM does is that it let's NPD estimate the sales with greater accuracy.

a) doesn't include sales from certain retailers - it does, but some retailers don't provide figures, but by comparing them to other retailers and their turnover it can estimate their sales very accurately.

b) NPD is like VGC - its not. NPD has a massive sample size, so it might be a fration of a % pt out at the worst, whereas VGC is simply guesses based off a few stores. All the companies use NPD as if it were gospel, as do investors, a couple of people on this board think they know better (well they do it for damage control tbh)
