NPD clarifies recent sales reports |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: NPD
Ó
This is a correction on a news bit we reported two days ago about NPD. In the said report, it was stated that NPD had tallied up the sales of the 360, Wii and PS3 for the months of November to December. It was further detailed that the Xbox 360 sold 2 million units, the Wii 1.8 million, and the PS3 750,000 units in the said time span. It turns out that the news was falsely attributed to the NPD group, as their David Riley told GameDaily BIZ.
Recent media reports erroneously cited The NPD Group as having
provided to CNBC December '06 retail sales for the video game industry.
Although the specific CNBC segment included NPD's November '06 console
hardware install base sales figures, there were no sales figures or
forecasts from NPD for December 2006. NPD's December/Year-End sales
data will become available Jan 11.
As they said, the official reports will be released in a week, so just take this in stride.

It would be funny to learn that the 360s numbers were inflated... but it is the holiday season and consoles sell very well during this time of year... I wouldn't be surprised if the numbers are still fairly accurate.

Tsk tsk Broken_Hero, making up facts again I see.
Can you provide links to these 'many analyses' reports you've read that says 360 sales were disappointing this Christmas?
We'll know next week, but I don't believe a word you say. :)

I.m Sure Michael Pathcher Has His Own Sources For Sales numbers for every Month.....How Did he Mention that the 360 Monthly sales were 200.000 Units Behind His Expectation if He Didnt have any Actual Numbers For sales to base his opinion on...
So...you see He has His Own Sources for Numbers...which Led him to say that the 360 sales Are Disappointing this Period and are outselled By the PS2 an DS...
you can review the Link...and while you are at it....Read the First Post Made in that Page...You may need it :)

Second, it's good to see that you recognised it as HIS expectations, so why are you posting it here as if he's discussing facts?
You said "this Christmas", now you're saying, oh I meant "these 3 Months". That's a big difference :) Besides, we already know how sales have gone over the last 3 months, including the PS3 and Wii since launch, but we don't know the sales over the Chrsitmas period.
And it's not analyses, it's Michael Pachter, who has a reputation for being a big mouth with his predictions. If sales fell below HIS expectations, then HE was wrong, it doesn't mean 360 sales were disappointing (except to him).
So like I was suggesting in my first post, there have been no analysis reports about consoles sales this Christmas and therefore nothing to suggest 360 sales were disappointing.
So I think we should wait for those reports first, and then we can compare 360, PS3 and Wii sales this Christmas and argue which were great and which were disappointing.
