No more sales figures

[Stoney Mason]

stolen from neogaf

- removal of monthly hardware unit sales figures
- a shift in the Top 10 software from sku level with unit sales for the Top 5, to Top 10 software at the title level with no unit sales

[G The Resurrected]

YAY no more trolling! Wait there still will be TROLLING, THE TOLL TROLL MUST BE PAYED IN FULL!

[archie4208]

But how will I know what Pantsu Spanku 3: Kawaii Desu Edition ^.^ sold? ;_;

[Great Rumbler]

NPD? I trust VGChartz more anyway.

[Phoenix Dark]

now we actually have to talk about games 

[Stoney Mason]

On one hand I think its funny that gaf nerds will have no ammo for their game wars anymore.

On the other hand I think what sort of childish industry hides its numbers for general consumption. It's like if television or the movie industry suddenly decided to try to hide their ratings numbers or box office numbers.

You don't talk about games to begin with. Get outta here.

I play real games sorry

[Robo]

That's OK, we already know who was gonna win, anyway.

Annihilated

[Stoney Mason]

My favorite part of sales numbers was seeing fanboys (Killzone 2 being a great example) being devastated when their franchise of choice wasn't as big as they thought it was.

[Phoenix Dark]

They weren't devastated though, they simply pivoted to some spin of the numbers to make the game's performance look more successful.

[Stoney Mason]

True

[Phoenix Dark]

I meant to say "weren't" not "were"

But yea, anytime a PS3 game sells below GAF prediction levels we hear about attachment rates or shortages.

"great sales given the user base!"
"as a percentage of user bases there was no difference between Resistance's performance and Gears of War"
etc

[Purple Filth]

So hardly any Sony numbers then? 

[Rman]

On one hand I think its funny that gaf nerds will have no ammo for their game wars anymore.

On the other hand I think what sort of childish industry hides its numbers for general consumption. It's like if television or the movie industry suddenly decided to try to hide their ratings numbers or box office numbers.  

Yeah.  I don't get it.

[maxy]

No panic,we will get leaks...PR will give spin numbers also...VG charts has miraculously improved their numbers in last few months(US of course)...it will be fun

But as Stoney said,this is childish for a multi-billion dollar industry.

[MyNameIsMethodis]

So how will I know that the PS3 is constantly outselling the Xbox 360 from now on end?

Well, no one can prove you wrong anymore.  It's your time to shine, Methodis!

I guess it's time for me to come out...guys...i'm not a xbox fan, i'm a ps3 fan.

They banned the poor bastard. Someone invite him to EB.

[TakingBackSunday]

what a petty thing to do

[Mr. Gundam]

But how will I know what Pantsu Spanku 3: Kawaii Desu Edition ^.^ sold? ;_;

Media Create ain't going anywhere. It still brings out the console warriors, but nothing like NPD.

[Sho Nuff]

Get a Gamespot Trax subscription you filthy poors

[MCD]

Quit gaming at the right time.

[Diunx]

Cry moar segata.

[WrikaWrek]

This is the miracle Sony fans have been waiting for. Combining their ability to turn a lack of European numbers into nuclear internet ammo, with the lack of NPD sales figures?

Goddamn. Ps3 is gonna be ahead of the 360 and Wii combined in a couple of months.

[cool breeze]

I believe it.  I watched the Inbetweeners yesterday and they said the Wii was for kids and gays and that you should buy a PS3. 

[Diunx]

Its true though.

[TripleA]

This changes nothing. Nintendo will be on top with the rest competing for 2nd place.

This console 'war' ended a long time ago.

NPD AUGUST 2010

360 – 356,700
DS -342,700
Wii – 244,300
PS3 -226,000
PSP – 79,400

Doesn't prove him wrong though. It'll be years for the 360 to catch up, which isn't going to happen because a new console will replace it by then.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Wait,  what about Kinect?  If Microsoft doesn't report numbers do we assume it bombed?

That guy is a fucking baby.

And Evilore, since I know you or one of your lackeys is reading this anyway, I'm still posting over at GAF on like 8 different accounts.  Infact you guys just approved another one of mine not too long ago.

I should start a thread over there and just start replying to myself over and over again.

It's like Pokemon dude.  You gotta catch 'em all.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Hitler Stole My Potato is nice.

[Bebpo]

Just means now we get bullshit from companies and can't call them on it.

Sooooo many companies lie through their teeth when they release a game.  If there wasn't NPD everyone would believe (well everyone being the people using it as ammo for defense) that Lost Planet 2 sold over a million copies first week.

makes sense.  gaf probably gets tons of hits on npd days, allowing him to get better ad rates.

[AdmiralViscen]

In the absence of NPD I will just have to assume that the last two months sales trends will be repeated ad infinitum. What do you think of that TripleA!?

[Joe Molotov]

They banned the poor bastard. Someone invite him to EB.

LOL

Some Dude: "I like to play games."

Evilore: "SHUT YOUR FILTHY TROLL MOUTH! *BANNED*"

GAF: "Thank you Evilore. This is just further proof you're responsible for the greatest forum on the internet."

[Bulleta©™®]

He is very bad at setting 'standards', yeah.  Has used a too-tall avatar for years.

Oh for fucks sake.  Someone please tell me that guy was just trolling.  I can't take anymore sycophantic GAF BS.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

On GAF?  Definitely the latter.

[Bulleta©™®]

Going into an NPD thread to say "who cares" was deemed disruptive, probably due to the amount of traffic they got.  Other, actual gaming topics it was ok by higher-up folk.  Traffic/income first, not the community's quality.  Did search ever come back?  That was extremely poor and something that should have been rectified immediately.  But that would cost money.

[iconoclast]

Now I'll never know how badly Kinect will tank. :'(

Oh well. At least this will stifle most of the sales talk when it comes to discussing the actual games.

[demi]

Dont think this will help Vanquish any. Wouldnt have listed regardless. looooooooooool

[Eel O'Brian]

you will know this by the trail of reduced price stickers left in its wake

But the main character is American and he speaks English. 5 million sales is a lock.

There will be nothing to say on the matter except "PSP Go sales increase 10,000% from the previous week, becomes top-selling hinged gaming platform in the world."
