Could get real interesting...

 

[kabel]

He could still tweet something like "Xbox One was the best selling current gen Xbox console for September." It's not unheard of

You made sure you wrote current gen Xbox heh?
Would like to see 360 sales.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

T-minus 1 hour till Pachter is wrong and we get pages full of awful "lol pachter" shit posts before any real sales discussion begins. Looking forward to it!

 

[Verendus]

If only there was a way to make an avatar bet work in this situation. I feel so disappointed.

 

[Ol No Bones]

That double breasted suit... Lovely

 

[MightyHedgehog]

This all feels like some attempt to make NPD results seem relevant again. Pachter doesn't care if he's wrong again, I'm sure.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

This is going to be great lol

As someone relatively new to GAF (Been lurking for about an year) was there an NPD report with that much expectation to see the reactions on it?

I think GTAIV not doing anything to reverse the Wii's momentum had some of the biggest meltdowns I've seen in an NPD thread.

 

[Cess007]

This is going to be great lol

March.

Because people expected Microsoft to win because of Titanfall.

Yep, March is the only other month this year i can remember with this kind of anticipation. Did Pachter made a prediction that month too?

 

[Chiggs]

There's an easier way, though: just make the numbers publically available like they used to be back in those Halcyon Days!

And you are not tempted to have a stab at Pacher ? Really ?

 

[mnannola]

Now this is impressive.

 

[Jea Song]

Holy shit. Lol

 

[Barack Lesnar]

And you are not tempted to have a stab at Pacher ? Really ?

What else is there to say? Tons of jokes already in this thread. He's obviously going to be wrong.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Yeah, I don't see those days ever coming back.

And he doesn't deserve it...why?

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Nice work lad

 

[kabel]

When do we get the numbers? 0:30AM EST?

 

[ethomaz]

I can't... I can't... I can't even...

lol

Speechless.

 

[THRILLH0]

This is going to be great lol

mama robotnik gifs used to make every NPD thread an event.

Not sure if it was actually his but the PS3 pole vault gif was some of the funniest shit as juvenile as it was.

 

[Guevara]

If nothing else, something about Pachter being wrong highlights that the Xbox One can't even win the U.S. when it gives away multiple games for free. That's the real "boom" here.

Analysts are wrong all the time, it's not really a big deal.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

And he doesn't deserve it...why?

I doubt he will give a fuck either

 

[Barack Lesnar]

And he doesn't deserve it...why?

Of course he does, but this thread already has tens of pages of it. Gonna feel like we're beating a dead horse

 

[BMO = GOAT]

When do we get the numbers? 0:30AM EST?

From my experience, usually around 10pm and on.

 

[wowzors]

Pachter will be victorious

 

[ExVicis]

I almost wanna make this into an Avatar and use it.

Never seen that. Can you dig it up?

 

[DC1]

Ridiculous patcher has Gaf holding its breaths, come on lol this guy set this all up for attention. Bet He is lurking here reading this.

No he doesn't.

Its very simple: We, Gaf, not only like the tast of crow, we like to see people eat it as well.


Gaf = microcosm of general intelligence

You might want to read the thread title, bro.

Would be too small for the awesomeness it has.

 

[speculawyer]

Flawless.

Especially the picture of Pachter in it.

 

[FF Seraphim]

You sire are an artist! An Artist who deserves cookies.

 

[SeanR1221]

An inside look at the NPD party Evilore is hosting right now in his swanky mansion.

Spoiler

cant take credit for that picture, someone else here made it

 

[Chobel]

LOL! This is amazing.

 

[Amentallica]

I kind of hope this is true. I honestly think Xbox deserves the most sales as of now because of all the effort they are putting into the UI. Also, it would be nice for Sony to start feeling some pressure and start adding stuff to the PS4 OS.

You think a console deserves the most sales because it updates its UI more than its competitor?

 

[Chezzymann]

You're just a junior? You deserve a promotion for this.

 

[THRILLH0]

Never seen that. Can you dig it up?

Found it! Realise now I talked it up too much but it was hilarious in context!

 

[ryuken-d]

OK, I can kind of see how that is off topic to this thread. I apologize if I derailed.

So, I can't explain why I genuinely like something better?

didn't you know? its a new rule P

 

[SeanR1221]

I know I spend hours staring at the UI. I can actually see it unlike the diffence in resolution duh

 

[UberTag]

This all feels like some attempt to make NPD results seem relevant again. Pachter doesn't care if he's wrong again, I'm sure.

In the digital age, NPD results are hardly relevant at all.
People should stop paying NPD's exorbitant subscription rate to get data they can pretty much guess on their own.

"Deserving" sales is a ridiculous concept by itself.

In the digital age, NPD results are hardly relevant at all.

I would assume that they get more detailed info with an NPD subscription than just the overall sales for North America for the month.

 

[mollipen]

Not sure if I should make this a new thread, as I don't know if it's been posted yet, but email from sony:

Thanks to the support from fans and the overwhelming popularity of the limited-edition Destiny PS4 bundle, PlayStation 4 won the month of September, nearly tripling August sales.

PlayStation led the month for next generation software, including selling the most copies of Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, and FIFA 15, making PS4 the best place to play sports games.

 

[winstano]

Errr... Wow... Geoff Keighley @geoffkeighley
Per PlayStation: PlayStation 4 won the month of September, nearly tripling August sales.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

Keighley says Sony won September. Tripled August numbers.

[DieH@rd]

What's the current install base difference between PS4 and Xbone in USA [NPD numbers]? 700k?

 

[Darksol]

Holy fuck

 

[logikk]

<--- I had to do it...

[BlackBuzzard]
