NPD September Predictions

Justin D. of Neocrisis writes: "The September 2009 NPD results will come in tomorrow after a small delay, and this one is set to be the most interesting one yet. With the PS3 Slim and price cut in full force and the 360's fake price cut via a mail-in rebate that we talked a lot about (and that we stand behind, by the way, despite the flaming from 360 fanboys towards us saying "that's how rebates work" without knowing that some people will be stupid enough to not realize that), we are expecting for some interesting hardware numbers to come out. However, this could also be the PS3's first chance to take over the 360's second place for the first time in a year and a half (at least when it comes to monthly sales). If they didn't, expect for them to be very, VERY close.

Here's what I expect the NPD results to show."

One more day people. Then you can flame all you want. But remember,

Sales do not matter, LOL. If the ps3 is in the lead then thats what the 360 fanboys will be saying. Its what the ps3 fanboys have been saying everytime they throw sales figures up.

My personal opinion. Sales matter to Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and the game devs and publishers.

The only thing that should matter to people who play games is if they enjoy a game or not. Too many people get caught up in well its only for this console so I like it. Well I hate this game because its on this console. A good game is a good game.

Yet you comment! Funny how that works, eh?

Software_Lover6040d ago

That is irrelevant to anything that I posted. Please try again if you tried to be funne eh.

v1c1ous6040d ago

did sales matter for that year and a half or not?

3XP6040d ago

That article wasn't laced with biased bullsh!t now was it.

Some people have no shame. None.

Tachyon_Nova6039d ago

I disagree to a point. Sales absolutely do matter to consumers. For example, with game development, a really great game may not get a sequel that it deserves if sales are too low to recoup development costs. On the hardware side, what happened to Sega? Not enough sales so that had to quit the league, allowing MS into the fray, which has been bad for consumers because of all the exclusive DLC deals going down.

zeeshan6039d ago

I think PS3 slim would have sold somewhere around 350,000 to 400,000. Regardless of the figures, I think it'll probably be 25k-30k ahead of 360.

Ravage276039d ago

sales only matter if a game i like didn't sell enough copies to warrant a sequel, which is VERY rare. Then again, i like seeing games that pushes excellence getting rewarded with good sales, and the opposite is true too.

Ps3 is gonna dominate the failbox, but i think the wii will be #1

DonCorneo6040d ago

i doubt it.

Wakka_6039d ago

About time you lost bubbles. You're coming down with me!

MetalGearRising6040d ago

Keep dreaming that's all you ps3 fans have left.

gumgum996040d ago

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing2d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit2d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing2d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster922d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
