October 2018 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, November 13th
- Thread starter donny2112

Yep.
I've seen the warriors of all three partake in attacks at different times. They tend to shoot the messenger when the data or a prediction isn't to their liking.
Not that it changes much but this is the 1TB model. The Spider-Man bundle has the 500GB model.
Ay yo noyram, my console did better than yours in NPDs for this particular month! What you gonna do about it?!
It is 1TB too... I can understand $250 for the CoD because it is a 3rd party game but at $300 it looks a hell of expensive... you can buy PS4 1TB Spider Man + CoD at $260.
This CoD bunlde is terrible... the only issue is that the Spider bundle is probably limited to 1m units.
Doesn't matter Gravity Daze sucks as a franchise, Kat is the worse protag ever. Gravity daze 3 please...
No, it's the same 1TB.
A new Marvel's Spider-Man Standard Edition PS4 Bundle for $199.99 USD (MSRP) / $259.99 CAN (MSRP).This jet-black 1TB standard PS4 system includes a matching DualShock 4 wireless controller, and a physical copy of the critically acclaimed Marvel's Spider-Man game from Insomniac Games.

But comparing the price is unfair. Spider-Man is a limited time promotion while the CoD one is the MSRP. That one will probably get a $249 short period in December.
I don't think it is unfair the price comparison... Spider bundle is not sold out yet... so the CoD bundle is really bad priced.
Spider bundle + CoD = $260
Cod Bundle = $300
It is that bad.
It doesn't matter the actual MSRP of the PS4.
Right now it is being sold at $199 bundled with a first-party game that received good critics.
$300 for any bundle with any other game is bad priced.
The PS4 still cost officially $299 without a game. I am pretty sure this bundle will be discounted for Christmas, certainly at $249
I dont think the goal is to sell this bundle before and during black Friday.The pricing is not bad; the pricing of the Spider-Man bundle is just very good
Announce afer the Black Friday? Because they are clear announcing for the Black Friday with a bad price.
You don't look at you will have in the future to see if a price is good or bad... you look what you have right now.
People going to buy that bundle no matter what in December, thats how its always is.
It is November 16 and the bundle will be available on the 27th. It is less than two weeks
And you also want to create the illusion of a discount when you'll sell this bundle for $249 just before Christmas
It's just a reminder that officially the price of the PS4 is stilll $299 MSRP :)
I wouldn't be surprised to see a temporary price drop to $249 in December, like what hapened last year if memory serves.
About Magicpork, I really hope he didn't take the criticism of that one person to heart... As it was even based on a stupid misunderstanding between units and value.
How can they announce it after black friday if it goes on sale right after black friday. This is there Christmas bundle. Announcing this isn't going to stop anyone from trying to get the $199 Spiderman bundle. Plus it still signals that the MSRP is $299. Gives the illusion of a free game.
So a bad deal like I said.
There is no value in this bundle but yeap I see misinformed gamers buying it... MSRP doesn't matter when you have options being sold below the MSRP.
It's shameful. Imagine what we could have if all the people in the know actually wanted to engage with us.
They could have just put their hands up, apologised to Magicpork it would probably have been fine, but it was the usual double-down and pile-on.
I really miss Abdiel these threads, such a good poster with knowledge from the front line. I always looked forward to his posts.
Oh yeah, if you're reading this Abdiel godspeed!
Seriously, all these people who attacked the insiders should be banned.
We should make a NPD discord and have insiders and trusted members only, that way we can have the leak numbers and discuss without normies finding out who leaked or discussed something contradicting and attacking them.
My 2 cents
My 2 cents
Things would leak the moment it's posted. No one can be trusted.
If that would mean we could have more open discussions with good people like Abdiel, Aqua, Magicpork, Benji and others I'd be all for it.
I almost wonder if these threads are worth it sometimes as many turn into battle grounds for console warriors. Hell even certain games attract this crap. Look at any Star Citizen thread.
No problem with numbers leaking just want to protect out friends from being attacked on this forum or Twitter.
Only if you consider the MSRP of PS4 to be a bad deal. But seeing as PS4 continues sell at solid pace I don't think a majority of consumers agree with you. Now if you mean to say it's a worse deal than the spiderman deal then yes it is but that is kind of the point of Black Friday deal.
You're confused. This bundle doesn't start until after the Spider-Man one ends. These aren't going to be alternate options at the same time.
Seems like it's the resurgence of prediction threads as numbers aren't leaked early to kill the point of the thread.
Because, due to a data coding issue, physical data has been delayed to this evening or Monday morning.
Which ANY of y'all could have just gone and asked me about via DM or Twitter. All it would have taken.
Just popping in to say that you are a fantastic Twitter follow, and i look forward to your posts about October. I can't fault your decision to stay far, far away from Era's shameful NPD threads.
Didn't even know data hasn't been sent out yet. Thanks for the update.
