Support NeoGAF

[Chiggs]

Nah, the meltdowns will make staying up that extra hour worth it.

Do most of the meltdowns occur within the first five pages? Seems like it takes a little for things to develop.

To answer people's questions about the three strikes thing. In N'Gai Croal's blog it was posted that annonymous sources had been saying that if the PS3 was below 100k for three straight months, you would start to see developers pull their multi-console titles from the PS3. The assosiation with Ubisoft is incorrect, I believe. The source remains annonymous.

Sorry. I shaved off a few seconds of my response time by upgrading my flywheel from stock.

 

[Parl]

surely years?

Neh, just months I'm afraid. But several months, at least.

 

[Ramenman]

might help with those Japan-time issues as well.

NEVAR. Japan Time can't be helped.

Spoiler

There was already an international countdown for the SSBB thing, the fact is just that the site didn't open at midnight ^^

Surely, this could be seen as blasphemy.

Thanks. And thanks to BenjaminBirdie too. Pretty interesting. Any link that can be provided by anybody?

ffs people, figure it out for yourself:

ah, I see. couldn't remember the particulars of that case.

C'mon this is a sales thread. Trends show us taht neoGAF will remain the best for years to come...

But yea, sales age don't require logic, so i guess you're right..

First five pages are mostly cheering and yelling. After that comes the screaming and the crying.

And we both know the sales need to pick up, pronto--especially if Sony wants to keep third party interest. Already third party executives are telling me that if PS3 sales stay below 100k for 3 consecutive months, PS3 SKUs may start disappearing from release lists and in turn create a wealth of de-facto exclusives for the Xbox 360

Thanks, Ice. That's the one. If you keep reading though, the respondent is doubtful things will go that far.

 

[Dirtbag]

I wonder how shadowrun did? That one has a chance at suprising us.


I'm betting big on Mario Party / Pokemon / Forza 2

I bet we'll have to ask for it later.

:/

And all the while the gif's keep rolling in....

 

[Tobor]

You had the quote backwards though. Geoff Keighly said it, and N'Gai responded to it.

 

[pooteeweet]

It'll be awhile before the official results are posted, but SW sales are spectacular.

Shadowrun rise to heaven!

 

[valkillmore]

And all the while the gif's keep rolling in....

As they should, Brandon F. As they should.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

You had the quote backwards though. Geoff Keighly said it, and N'Gai responded to it.

I had a feeling I'd done that. I couldn't remember who said what.

 

[Sule]

I've prepared a GIF for NPD, how hard is it to post it on page 1 or 2? I presume pages 1 to 5 will all be posted in like a minute or two after the thread? First time I'm staying up so I'm EXCITE.

 

[DSWii60]

Ah come on, my eyes have started drooping and I'm yawning.

Honestly shouldn't be that tough to get it on the first or second page. Two months ago I had three posts on the first page so I'm sure the odds are in your favor, junior.

 

[AstroLad]

I think Forza (relatedly it seems that MS is making a killing on the wheels, force feedback monopoly FT$) will outperform but I see Shadowrun underperforming. We'll see whenever we get the numbers.

 

[jamesinclair]

Maybe 3 months of 90,000 wouldnt do it, but would a 3rd month being >75,000 do it?

Is there any reason June sales should be better? (excluding the 5 week thing)

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

Ah come on, my eyes have started drooping and I'm yawning.

and? it says "thread posted around 6:30" so you have another 30+ minutes to go.

of course, it's only 3 here so I'm not exactly tired.

 

[AstroLad]

Next time I'm going to arrange a car service for sonycowboy, for the sake of GAF.

They didn't do spectacular in May, they were released on May 29th.

I know...Lets see which comes first, sleep or games.

Shadowrun v. MLB: The Show could be an interesting bout...

Shadowrun will not be in the top ten, and you just listed the top 4 games for the month, unless Wii Play messes things up.

 

[AstroLad]

Yeah, sorry, just to be clear I'm speaking about general sales.

 

[Lorul2]

Will this be the 2nd month the 360 actually outsells the PS2...Survey says...

 

[Sule]

Honestly shouldn't be that tough to get it on the first or second page. Two months ago I had three posts on the first page so I'm sure the odds are in your favor, junior.

EDIT:

No.

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

How much for the numbers ? (Classic question)

 

[dammitmattt]

They didn't do spectacular in May, they were released on May 29th.

They still had 3-4 days worth of sales, and that's when a huge portion of a game's sales are generated, especially on the "hardcore" 360 platform.

 

[C4Lukins]

Shadowrun will not be in the top ten, and you just listed the top 4 games for the month, unless Wii Play messes things up.

I bet it is in the top 10, right around number 10.

What about renting a helicopter for him.. I would pay 5$ to get the NPD numbers airlifted into gaf :lol

 

[titiklabingapat]

Sonycowboy said earlier in the thread that he will be delayed and he'll probably let evillore post it or somebody else once gamespot and others get the numbers.

 

[jmdajr]

20 MORE MIN

 

[Kosma]

I hope there will be some good NEW gifs in the first few pages

 

[duk]

I CAN'T WAITTTTTT

 

[GhaleonEB]

I CAN'T WAITTTTTT

Things are going to be very, very similar to last month on the hardware front. It's going to be about shifts - what went up, what went down. If PS3 (somehow) goes down further, this could be very interesting.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[TemplaerDude]

Get him a blackberry to e-mail the numbers to someone to post, that'd be cheaper.

 

[kisakiproject]

where is it at?

 

[DSWii60]

The info must be NDAed as otherwise other sites would do this.

I bet PS3 will stay about same or score a tad higher... it's 4 week month for May right?

 

[pickwick]

hey hey heeeeeeeeeeeee y!!!

It's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime !!!
