hi guys at SW, i registered mainly for asking about world's richest(?) company. in May alone this year, NPD generated $868.3 million - in one month in one country alone! link: http://www.monstersandcritics.com/news/business/news/article_1483209.php/US_video_game_sales_plummet_in_May The company is so huge, it makes billions monthly! In December 2008 alone, it generated $5.29 billion! Blizzard only makes $100 million monthly and Microsoft doesn't come close. So we can say they're owned. I wonder how people here say Wii is making so much money and super Blizzard makes over $100 million monthly on WoW when NPD can make over $5 billion monthly but no one cares or mentions it! Here's the link: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_December_2008 For comparison, Blizzard (one of the world's biggest gaming companies) has a yearly revvenue of $1.1 billion, NPD did $5.3 billion in one month... Anyway, think we have a new king now in terms of gaming revenue. does anyone know the NPD boss? a name? ill keep posting in this forum, seems nice.

In the link, it says NPD generated over 5 billion in December alone. I asked in another gaming forums (gr) and they said there that it was a secret company that doesn't do public, i'd think one of the leading gaming forums maybe should know...

OK since you clearly do not understand, I will explain this to you very clearly. NPD is a Market Research Group. What they do is they track the gaming industry(and other industries....). The track how much money is spent on game software, where it was spent, and on what titles it was spent. NPD reports what the ENTIRE gaming industry makes in a month. NPD itself, is not making this money, merely reporting on it. That is why you looked so foolish. NPD does not make that much money, the entire GAMING industry makes that much money.

Dude, I UNDERSTAND THAT IT REPORTS GAMES COMPANIES. all companies make and report something in the world. Look here: http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_December_2008 It says it revenued over 5 billion in that month alone. "Video game revenues * Total sales: $5.29b " Read it on the down level. If you don't think I know that NPD reports game's sales performance, it's a sad day today. it has nothing to do with NPD's revenue, kid. Man, you must either be kidding me. If you were to have another brain in your head, I'm sure it would have been alone... but of course, I know your joking. Im the joking guy, too. hehe

That $868.3M figure is the revenue generated by the industry, not NPD.

NO!!! OMG.... NPD ONLY reports. They reported that video game revenues for the month were at $5 Billion.. NPD however did not make that money. They only reported it. Other game companies made that money. NPD makes no games. They are just a market research group. Their job, and their ONLY job, is to watch what other companies do and then report that to investors who will then invest in the strong companies. But NPD is NOT MAKING $5 Billion.

What might those video game revenues for NPD be when it doesn't develop or publish any game? If Fox News tells that the movie industry made X number of money in a year, it doesn't mean that Fox News made that money. Fox is only reporting it. But honestly, this must be a joke thread. I bet whoever TheLegend200 truly is, he's currently laughing his ass off. I hope.

Everyone should go check out the "funny pictures" thread; this guy tried to link us an image from his HDD. That's was 10 times funnier than this.
