November 2017 NPD (U.S. Hardware) Predictions - Closes Tuesday, December 5th
- Thread starter donny2112
- Start date
Sega shipped 30.75 million Mega Drive consoles in the end (was around 29 million as March 1996).
There is no way Mega Drive total shipment to be near 40 million units, even including wharever TecToy manufactured for South America.
It's a bogus number.
We got Playstation WW numbers for Ps4, VR and Software.
That's all we will get this week, next week maybe Matt can give us some extra info, I bet he wants to but can't, maybe npd will open a exception because holidays...
Media release and all that stuff happens next Thursday aligned with delivery of digital data to clients.
Packaged data delivers to clients today, but packaged only isn't sufficiently representative of today's market.

I remember there being a similar argument for the 2600 being at 40 due to jr and Sears consoles as well as the gemini.
But anyway I agree that it's not a good number. 40 million would likely require better performance in Japan as well imo.
It's not a question of sales performance in Japan, it's a question about how Mega Drive yearly shipment and final total shipment by Sega are known.
That is it's a question of taking the official figures, without relying on bogus calculation or sketchy articles.
Atari VCS has shipped 25 million units by 1987 (stated in a Atari Corp PR from such year)
Totally agree, but the question can be broadened, and essentially has been by Sega fans over the years.
SEGA shipped 30 million. But how many Mega Drives were sold? Majesco+Tectoy+etc also sold systems. In the same way, the Sharp developed Famicoms do not count in NES shipment numbers.
But it's taken to silly extents like including spurious late 2000s tectoy numbers which even if true were actually clone systems with built in games, closer to the NES mini in concept than original hardware.
Okay here is a little teaser.
At least one platform sold above 1 million units during November.
Hope that was helpful.

Actually 1988 http://atariage.com/forums/uploads/monthly_01_2008/post-9346-1201143700.jpg
But I know the Atari numbers, I was just saying some people claimed Atari sold 40 by over counting gemini and Sears consoles and just mentioned it as a parralel to your point about people saying the Genesis sold 40 by over counting telegames consoles.
But with Sega we actually have some numbers for their products. Atari might be the most evasive company of all time (video game console wise) in regards to sales numbers.
Hah I remember that thread. You arguing with a random google trends image, and Pork Loin.
Your post history is on the public record. In the mean time, please refrain from portraying insider information that you don't actually have.
He didn't apologise for the misunderstanding, he apologised IF there was a misunderstanding because he wasn't sure. Big difference.
Didn't he have an "only if Pokemon releases in 2018" conditional on that?
3DS + legacy consoles are going to be above 5% of the market share.
Lol, I was wondering WTF you guys were talking about, then I realised that this forum's ignore option is super effective, even cancels quotes.
So, Switch becoming #1 hardware in 2018 is not a given IMHO, all depends on Sony's and Nintendo's pricing strategy. At current levels I'd agree, though.

I want his crystal ball. How can he know how much Sony and Nintendo will sell in 2018 ?
PS4 With a 199 console and Spiderman, GOW, RDR2 marketing, he thinks that about Nintendo top selling by 40%? Yeh I would love his crystal ball, sure he works for NPD unless they all have crystal balls lol
Yea I just don't see it. I'll take a bet on this no way switch is leading with that lineup and price on ps4.
Oh, do not underestimate Switch, it's still the "new thing", and who knows what Nintendo comes up with to ensure momentum next year. Prettey sure they won't "just" rely on a Pokemon game.
I could see this worldwide but US only it certainly would be interesting to see.
I don't think Nintendo was able to stock enough units to win November. I would love to be proven wrong.
The man is just guessing let him have fun.
He also said Xbox was going to Outsell Ps4 this year and we all saw how it went down.
If Pokemon is in fact 2018, you guys might be in for quite a surprise. It's a genuine monster-level franchise that eclipses basically everything Nintendo has and would single-handedly propel the Switch to ridiculous heights.
I can make one but what is the source?
Apparently mizuho but I got no links just worked with %.
Better wait for MatPiscatella to confirm those.
Got it - I believe it's private? for client only?
well I'll just pull the trigger here.
