lol That thread title.

 

[MilkBeard]

lol @ the 19 million

 

[Vizzeh]

LOL at that title change!

LMFAO!!! Who ever changed that title is a legend.

 

[vilmer_]

Amazing thread title lol.

 

[Skeff]

How would 12,000 people even know the thing was available within 27 minutes? Stock trackers?

GAF Facebook, Twitter, it's phenomenal it sold 7 per second without any notice or countdown

 

[Penguins&PolarBears]

444/min vs. 1000/min

XB1 wins Amazon speed selling competition. Console war is over. GG guys.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Wow, that average!

 

[Copenap]

I hope you're also taking the piss out of Microsofts PR and you don't actually believe this.

What? srs

You tell me!

 

[Toki767]

Not super shocked. Amazon servers yesterday were hiccuping during the time the PS4 was available.

 

[SwiftDeath]

GAF Facebook, Twitter, it's phenomenal it sold 7 per second without any notice or countdown

I'm getting the feeling that retailers want PS4's quite a bit

Show your work

 

[Steroyd]

Haha lol at the thread title.

 

[Souldestroyer]

Wow, at that pace they gonna pull ahead of Wii lifetime sales in less than half a year, really impressive.

Yeah but Wii U's sales are hardly an impressive stat :/

Nonetheless nice job Sony!

 

[CambriaRising]

The new thread title is amazing.

 

[Raoh]

[theprodigy]

Yeah but Wii U's sales are hardly an impressive stat :/

Nonetheless nice job Sony!

he said Wii sales, it's in jest though since that sales rate is obviously a joke

 

[Y2Kev]

I hope you're also taking the piss out of Microsofts PR and you don't actually believe this.

??? this is math

math is facts so don't even try to argue

 

[ILoveBish]

Poor hyrb, he is turning into a meme machine.

 

[plainr_]

Major Nelson would be proud.

 

[Alienous]

So

444 consoles a minute

444 *

60 minutes in an hour *

24 hours in a day *

30 days in a month

= 19,180,800 sold in December NPD

 

[Colonel Nasty]

12,000 seems small for what might be the third largest retailer in the US. Am I just overestimating Amazons presence?

 

[Vizzeh]

GAF Facebook, Twitter, it's phenomenal it sold 7 per second without any notice or countdown

GAF helped too a small minority anyway, many ordered consoles and texted/updated people they knew..

A similar thread on GAF at 5:30am GMT during the Sony launch party gave me the heads up, giving me my PS4 in the UK - 3 Days after first release in the US, I was ecstatic to say the least.

 

[Nafai1123]

GAF has been comedic gold today and has perfected the art of MS math.

 

[SwiftDeath]

??? this is math

math is facts so don't even try to argue

Clearly indisputable

12,000 seems small for what might be the third largest retailer in the US. Am I just overestimating Amazons presence?

No but both gamestop and Best buy have 1000+ retail stores (not to mention Walmart or Target) so its hard to say what it means. Sony could simply be prioritizing retail stores or fulfilling pre-orders

 

[famousmortimer]

How would 12,000 people even know the thing was available within 27 minutes? Stock trackers?

How many followers is Wario up to on twitter multiplied by retweets = amazon melted.

 

[DieH@rd]

Shit, they almost outdid tearaway's sales in 27 minutes.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Fastest selling console of that 27 minutes.

Gold.

 

[pretty done]

??? this is math

math is facts so don't even try to argue

u cant argue w/ the maths

 

[Neuromancer]

19 million a month holy shit. MS has their work cut out for them that's for sure.

 

[Vizzeh]

I hope you're also taking the piss out of Microsofts PR and you don't actually believe this.

This title actually is taking the piss out of MS PR... its sarcasm/meme

 

[Chamber]

First to an average of 19,000,000 per month wins. That's the rule.

 

[LOLCats]

12,000 seems small for what might be the third largest retailer in the US. Am I just overestimating Amazons presence?

I was thinking, wow he's pretty in tune on the amount of time 12k consoles sold on Amazon.

Wonder if they lagging on supply and it was important to them to get it IN STOCK at Amazon even if it is for just 27 minutes.

 

[benny_a]

12K consoles every week for Amazon seems very low. I guess Sony has a bad supply chain.

 

[SykoTech]

Current sales-age math at its finest.

Your move, MS.

 

[shikamaroooo]

Dat title change hahah

 

[Hockeymac18]

Man that is impressive. Between this and the XB1 selling "1000 per minute at peak" on Amazon, this generation is off to a fervent start. Can't say there isn't a demand for consoles still. And funny post title. Always like poking fun at the silly PR response these companies make to NPD.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Using that Major Nelson math.

 

[cpp_is_king]

It's actually closer to 19.5 million.

A year has 365.242 days

An average month has 365.242 / 12 = 30.437 days

An average month has 30.437 * 24 * 60 = 43829 minutes

(12,000 consoles / 27 minutes) * 43829 minutes = 19,479,573 consoles.

By the way... Futureshop.ca right now. Go.

??? this is math

I don't even know what's there to argue.

 

[DBT85]

Fastest selling console then.

 

[SwiftDeath]

12K consoles every week for Amazon seems very low. I guess Sony has a bad supply chain.

Hmm but that same supply chain seems to have outdone MS's launch day (at least in the US) which is odd

I would say it's more supply constrain than logistics if that's what you mean. Still not convinced Sony prioritize Amazon

 

[Neuromancer]

We always go on average. That is how GAF NPD works. But now that the avg, that Sony presented, doesnt work in favor of Xbone. We contend that, fuck avg, they sold 12,000 in 27mins the rest of the launch minutes dont count.

 

[Nafai1123]

Someone needs to start making A Beautiful Mind gifs with all the maths going around.

 

[Visualante2]

Interesting that Sony are bringing the systems via air. Nintendo never did that when the Wii was supply constrained.

 

[theprodigy]

444/minute<1000/minute, what now Sony

dat PR spin though

 

[Cornbread78]

Dayum at that title change, epic MS math and spin.... Perfection the Major would be proud of..

 

[Souldestroyer]

he said Wii sales, it's in jest though since that sales rate is obviously a joke

Ahhh my bad

It's late here !

 

[jaded_up_]

I don't even know what's there to argue.

Why is your Y axis so crooked but your X axis seem to be fine? Apart from a little bit?

 

[RaikuHebi]

So

444 consoles a minute

444 *

60 minutes in an hour *

24 hours in a day *

30 days in a month

= 19,180,800 sold in December NPD

At this rate they will sell more PlayStations than people on Earth.

Matrix confirmed.

 

[theprodigy]

all joking aside, what is the record for a December NPD (and even a WW December, if that's even possible to find in the first place)
