December 2018 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, January 15th
- Thread starter donny2112
- Start date
Question for January's NPD: what percentage of the increase in snack consumption came from this thread?
Which country are you interested in?. I don't remember seeing numbers for the whole South America. It's probably too big with too many differences between countries taxes, markets and currencies.
How should we make actual numbers out of this without any YoY changes?
For South America, it's a real challenge but there are local trade bodies that sometimes publish sales. Mexico is the only meaningful market, especially for Xbox as Brazil has such high duty rates that retail prices prevent any significant console adoption rates so Sony and Microsoft have tried to manufacture locally. Nintendo has never had much presence in South America; on a global basis, Nintendo has the weakest distribution network of the three, Sony the best as it exploited its original local consumer electronics offices.
Do you know if there is something about Argentina and Brazil? I don't know if there are numbers from here.
PS4 up 2 apples and 1 white yogurt MoM
Yeah 1 is a great number.
Always knew you were a fraud, where's SouljaGame??
Classic Nintendo shill
NPD covers digital for Sony, MS and Steam platforms for members of the DLP across the entirety of the Americas. Physical tracking is done in MEX, US and CAN.
You know since we all crazy I'll say something truly factual and truly mean it. I enjoy being apart of this community and the sales guys like Benji are awesome. Whatever happens I'll see ya on the other side of the results.
This is great to hear. Didn't know digital data is shared for the whole of Americas.
So for Mexico you have essential the same complete picture as the US market.
Without going into details, how much did that market grow in the last years?
Only thing I'm interested in seeing is if RDR2 ended up passing BO4 for top selling game of the year.
Don't really care about console sales on a month to month basis.

Not sure, I'll have to go look.
Cool. This will save me a lot of work in the media release.
I do love these threads. This almost feels like the chibirobo all over again. Goddamn! That was the whole reason I joined Resetera in the first place and now thus is just fantastic!
Lack of the Soulja Boy line of handhelds and home consoles make this list incomplete.
if those numbers were from magicpork everyone would've been a wiener instead
That's gonna be a hard one, but I'm confident there must be a correlation between snack consumption and the views/posts in this thread. :P
Maybe look up the definition of sexist first before making off-topic posts.
It's not only when he is voice acting. Have you ever heard the man talk? It. does. not. stop. Ever. Love the guy though, he's pure bliss!
A thousand years from now, future archaeologists will argue whether or not the Trump Towers were used to house Soulja Boy consoles.
I found this, it's from 2016 and I'm not sure how accurate the info is as it's based on surveys not sales tracking: https://newzoo.com/insights/articles/latin-american-games-market/.
Overall situation seems to be slow adoption rate of this generation consoles in both countries and Xbox dominates Brazil while Playstation dominates Argentina.
At this point in time there's at least 3 soulja consoles per household on America so insiders don't even bother to include them anymore.
Do we know if he actually sold any ? As it appears Nintendo smacked him down pretty hard. He had claimed revenue in the low millions previously
He said he's sold 5 million dollars worth but also in the same breath anyone who donated him lots of money could get one free pretty please I'm an entrepreneur all y'all media is haters this is the comeback of 2018z
Also Souljawatch was taken down, "hacked" by his "ex-cameraman" who is a hater.
Perfect, now we can get more 3ds games. Links Awakening remake, here we come.
Colombia and maybe Peru. I always wonder about what is our real numbers on official consoles/software sales from local retailers (Panamericana, Alkosto/Ktronix, EB-Games, Exito, Falabella), since we've a competing grey market (guys who import units from US, etc.)
Thx for the reply. So, at least we have an impact on digital sales. I imagine like 1st Steam (by a lot), 2nd Microsoft (the MS Store is nice but pricing is hit and miss in some games) and last Sony (since PS Store in Colombia is shit tier). All of this was possible with the advent of regional pricing that opened affordable gaming prices to the masses.
