oh dear lord i might not be here when the numbers hit stay strong for me my comrades, my brothers

if our god is still testing us with low figures, go forth and post many hype threads to show our unending devotion even in the darkest hour

and if any heretics claim that there is no salvation at the end of this holy ordeal, rebuke them with gifs

godspeed

Our NPD threads have very little discussion about sales, and lots about gaffots. Unless of course Duckman, dfyb, or our XFE decides they need to start some shit.

this thread will mostly be about dyack and too human.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much the 360 flopped in August.

Especially with their damage control from yesterday!

100 percent over last weekend!

Arcade unit six times the usually selling rate!

Translation: We haven't sold jack shit.

you see a monster's ass, which happens to look like a monster ball sack, raping some lady's mouth. then she spits out loads of monster juice.

If it makes you feel better, I can go back to the If.... avatar I use at gaf.

ps3 > 360 by 100k

the xfe will go ballistic, there will be more meltdowns in this thread than in the gaf thread, justinp will be trolled a lot

and the thread won't be as ''big'' as the other ones, after the numbers are posted, because most of the xf's won't be able to take it and will just let it slide; this might just end up being the shortest npd thread on eb

i have seen the future

where's the xfe, is he asleep. is he saving his strength. he'll need it

i think 360 will see a healthy jump

TVC15 · « **Reply #47 on:** September 11, 2008, 04:56:37 PM »

I think PS3 and 360 numbers will be just about idntical. Maybe one with a teensy more, as usual. It was kinda common knowledge that there was a 360 cut upcoming in September, so I'd assume people that look at the net before making purchases held off.

oops -- didn't realize price cut happened so recently. 360 will probably still see a bump, but nothing spectacular until september NPD. and i think the price cut will help 360 a ton this holiday season.

TVC15 · « **Reply #49 on:** September 11, 2008, 05:03:38 PM »

Yeah, I thought the "real" price cut was early september, right?

MS just made the announcement that their sales doubled. I see no reason for PS3 to have a spike, so 360 should have a pretty big win this time around. (relatively speaking, of course)
