The numbers mason... why haven't you got them? JUST GIVE ME THE NUMBERS MASON!

 

[Ryng_tolu]

This 274k XB1 joke was not funny. ._.

 

[Welfare]

What if it wasn't actually all that far off?

And what if that calc was spot on for a different platform?

The possibilities are kind of nuts.

Lol I'm DONE

PR/cream save me.

 

[Loris146]

That would be bad, like really really bad.

Yep.

 

[Andy Believes]

Just out of curiously how did Sunset Overdrive chart last year? Uncharted might have beat that without bundles (with bundles it does for sure I think).

I may be wrong, but I thought SSO did not chart last year.

 

[BruceCLea]

I hope that XBOX does good, because if they don't with Halo, it's worrisome.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Guys Nintendo JUST finished their Nintendo Direct, you gotta give them some time to write their PR stating how much they won October by. Yoshi sells, baby.

 

[Loris146]

What if it wasn't actually all that far off?

Man stop with this teasing XD

 

[Chobel]

the Xbox One saw 81 percent growth compared to October 2014

[super6646]

IGN is reporting that NPD said XB1 sold the most in October.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/11...console-sales?abthid=56452800fd9561905e000028

That means it barely did over 300k (307.7k). That's still pretty awful in my opinion (I think I predicted 450k), but it also means that Halo 5 probably had better than 1.5 million software sales.

The troll was actually only about 30k under. Yikes.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

It also means that the PS4 didn't do so hot, either. I think it sold 297K last October.

 

[super6646]

It also means that the PS4 didn't do so hot, either. I think it sold 297K last October.

So it means PS4 was flat or even DOWN YOY. And my 450k prediction and 300 something k prediction for the PS4 are flat down the drain. This month was very disappointing in terms of hardware.

 

[shinra-bansho]

NB Doesn't actually specify what's being compared. Probably HW units. Possibly HW revenue. Or HW + SW revenue I guess.

 

[Bruno MB]

My prediction bombed hard!

I didn't expect such a bad hardware sales, low software sales for biggest releases was more expected seeing how both Halo 5 and Assassin's Creed: Syndicate did in the UK.

I guess people are waiting for Black Friday deals.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Got real quiet all of a sudden.

 

[Chobel]

There's a big chance PS4 is down YOY. LMAO!

What if it wasn't actually all that far off?

And what if that calc was spot on for a different platform?

The possibilities are kind of nuts.

Holy shit! It's down even though it had a price cut.

 

[N.Domixis]

Got real quiet all of a sudden.

Mourning over the loss of our gaming industry.

 

[LetTheWookieWin]

Crickets......

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

I can't believe I missed my father's death for this. I'm sitting out in the hallway waiting for these numbers before I go in and say goodbye. Hurry up NPD!

Lmao.

MVP goes to guy that used old PR statement and fooled everyone. I may have join these threads more just for the fun. Screw the numbers.

Amazing.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

So, at the end the real number was 305,000... not much better than before lol.

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

guys, november stole october's thunder

 

[Katana_Strikes]

I don't predict numbers but if I did I'd have certainly pegged them at the 400k mark so these are quite a shock all things considered.

 

[Welfare]

So yeah, those holiday numbers... they'll be good right? People were just holding off their PS4 purchases for the holidays, right?

Damn this was bad.

 

[donny2112]

This 274k XB1 joke was not funny. ._.

Of course not. SalesAge is serious business. Don't be messin' with my numbers, fool!

 

[Blanquito]

So yeah, those holiday numbers... they'll be good right? People were just holding off their PS4 purchases for the holidays, right?

Damn this was bad.

Yeah. Crazy.

Also, congrats

 

[wtshaolin]

Microsoft won?

 

[Omnistalgic]

So nobody really "won" ?

 

[Tubie]

So nobody really "won" ?

It seems like a terrible month for both, when you consider one had a price drop and the other had Halo.

 

[stryke]

I've heard concrete information that Halo 5 launch numbers will be some of the lowest yet. Like 1.4-1.5M low. I'm willing to polygraph with an admin if need be, I've seen how inside information is dealt with here

So this guy's info is bs?

 

[Tubie]

So this guy's info is bs?

It seems he was right, if what's being teased in the results thread is true.

 

[stryke]

It seems he was right, if what's being teased in the results thread is true.

What's being teased in the other thread is sub 1 million.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

So yeah, those holiday numbers... they'll be good right? People were just holding off their PS4 purchases for the holidays, right?

Damn this was bad.

That is still possible.

 

[Tubie]

What's being teased in the other thread is sub 1 million.

Well, maybe he was adding digital and bundles to get close to 1.5m

 

[stryke]

Well, maybe he was adding digital and bundles to get close to 1.5m

no digital

Retail only, 1.4-1.5M range. That's all I can share. I don't want my source to get in trouble.

 

[sense]

no digital

he could be talking worldwide tho right because that kind of checks out considering ms position outside us/uk

 

[Shin-chan]

he could be talking worldwide tho right because that kind of checks out considering ms position outside us/uk

As ridiculous as this would be it's the only way his numbers corroborate with the NPD thread and it would sort of fit in with US + UK being ~66% of Xbox sales too as they will add up to round about 1 million.

Basing your definition of success on comparing the sales of a mega franchise like Halo to the other detritus released during October is really damning with faint praise

 

[Obliterator]

So this guy's info is bs?

Its not BS. Depending on his perspective he may have been extrapolating data from what data he had on his hands.

He was right about worst selling Halo.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I expected a lot of things...

But not this.

These numbers are really... REALLY low... for Halo and a price cut.

Sadly, my first prediction was really low with XB1 winning. I kept upping the numbers and finally put PS4 ahead. I should have held.

Also, as a side note. I love how the official NPD thread is filled with people claiming Uncharted bombed at #9.

1.) Halo 5: Guardians (XBO)
2.) NBA 2K16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3) [Note: Second Month]
3.) Assassin's Creed: Syndicate (PS4, XBO)
4.) Madden NFL 16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
5.) WWE 2K16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
6.) FIFA 16 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
7.) Destiny: The Taken King (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
8.) Yoshi's Wooly World (NWU)
9.) Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection (PS4)
10.) Rock Band 4 (XBO, PS4)

When this also happened:

1.) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (360, XBO, PS4, PS3, PC)
2.) Grand Theft Auto V (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3)
3.) Super Smash Bros. (NWU, 3DS)
4.) Madden NFL 15 (360, XBO, PS4, PS3)
5.) Assassin's Creed: Unity (PS4, XBO, PC)
6.) Pokemon Alpha Sapphire (3DS)
7.) Far Cry 4 (PS4, XBO, 360, PS3, PC)
8.) Pokemon Omega Ruby (3DS)
9.) NBA 2K15 (PS4, 360, XBO, PS3, PC)
10.) Halo: The Master Chief Collection (XBO)

They are last gen remasters with bundles. What numbers were you expecting?!?!?

 

[allan-bh]

NPD George is legit so we have numbers, except for 3DS. And unfortunately september results are based on a litte off numbers for PS4 and Xbox One.

 

[Ryng_tolu]

It's looks like the numbers are:

[XB1] 303,000
[PS4] 275,000
[WIU] 65,000

...too bad we have not 3DS numbers yet.

 

[Welfare]

So September was really

[XB1] 293K
[PS4] 354K
[WIU] 88K

and this checks out with cream's pie from September.

Damn reading the NPD thread will take forever.

 

[FranXico]

It's looks like the numbers are:

[XB1] 303,000
[PS4] 275,000
[WIU] 65,000

...too bad we have not 3DS numbers yet.

Damn, PS4 and XB1 really close if that estimate is correct.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

I did predict one thing correctly this month...

That NPD_George was going to be a fun addition to NeoGAF.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

It's looks like the numbers are:

[XB1] 303,000
[PS4] 275,000
[WIU] 65,000

...too bad we have not 3DS numbers yet.

I finally got Wii U right, that's something

PS4 & XB1 atrocious...

 

[Ryng_tolu]

[PS4] 400,000
[XB1] 390,000
[3DS] 125,000
[WIU] 65,000

XB1: ouch
PS4: OUCH
WiiU: Like a boss B)
3DS: ?

 

[Trust me. I'm a PhD]

Well.... I guess American consumers in October did not share my enthusiasm for gaming... I think this is the most off I have ever been. Nailed WiiU, though...

 

[Welfare]

:O

XB1 274K?

Still can't believe this was fucking close, but for the wrong system.

 

[allan-bh]

We need to ask for NPD_George (now NPD_Mulcair) the 3DS number
