The Great Blue North in December.

brb, going to go chug some maple syrup

 

[DarthWalden]

I thought the northern lights were green, but they were rather blue last month.

Feed's up.

The Great Blue North in December.

I'm trying to decipher this, but can't come up with anything.

 

[1st Course]

I'm trying to decipher this, but can't come up with anything.

PS4 won (I think)

 

[PsychoSoldier]

I'm trying to decipher this, but can't come up with anything.

Sony won Canada?

 

[Chobel]

PS4 won (I think)

But everything we know suggests PS4 didn't win, so blue must mean something else.

EDIT: better wording.

 

[CosmicQueso]

But PS4 didn't win, so blue must mean something else.

Where's your info coming from?

 

[Mpl90]

...Naah, it can't be Sony winning...

in the case, wow

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

T-minus one hour and forty five minutes guys. NPD nights are always a blast.

The Great Blue North in December.

PS4 won in Canada? This in tandem with Aqua's post makes me think so. If PS4 won NA I'd be super surprised. Expecting a comfortable Xbox One win like November.

[Dead Prince]

oh. i forgot today's the day. Winter storm approaches.

 

[pharmboy044]

Supposedly Xbox one won and by a a large number.

 

[Chobel]

Where's your info coming from?

No info, jut very poor wording on my part. I mean it's like it was the safest bet, no one is expecting PS4 to win.

Supposedly Xbox one won and by a a large number.

Interesting, I thought it would be a closer percentage this month.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Supposedly Xbox one won and by a a large number.

Nah.

Wrapping my head around the Great Blue North reference... NPD doesn't track Canada...

Incorrect.

The Great Blue North in December.

WAIT! Blue is WiiU's color too!

OMG, NINTENDO WON!

the npd group tracks the usa, canada, australia, and new zealand.

Nah.

Nah to the whole thing?

 

[Dead Prince]

so xbox one won by 2 units? pack it up Sony

 

[Bold One]

so, what news?

should I be in my bunker?

 

[GhaleonEB]

Nah.

Which one.

 

[Loris146]

Calm before the storm.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Anyways, let's get real. That territory isn't super interesting data wise, so let's get back on task.

 

[Loudninja]

Which one.

Most likey they large number,I am sure the Xbox One is top this month.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Nah to the whole thing?

small number, tied, or lost.

 

[The Shogun]

Nah.

So Bone victory / smaller percentage correct? Or am I off with what I've been seeing.

 

[pharmboy044]

Nah.



Incorrect.

Really? So this guy who reported it last month is wrong?

I stand corrected, thanks!

 

[Welfare]

I can't tell if things are going to get crazy or not in the next hour and 30 minutes.

I sure wasn't referring to the US.

C'mon guys keep it together.

 

[Goodacre0081]

Anyways, let's get real. That territory isn't super interesting data wise, so let's get back on task.

kinda interesting to us Canadians. has the sales numbers from this territory mirrored the overall NPD winners since launch?

 

[Ghost_Messiah]

Nah.

Shit just got real right here. Sony victory?

 

[True Samurai]

Nah.

 

[lightning2k3]

Nah.



Incorrect.

US + CA PS4 > US + CA BONE?

 

[allan-bh]

NPD thread will be crazy if PS4 won.

Edit: Ah, OK, he is not talking about USA.

 

[CosmicQueso]

kinda interesting to us Canadians. has the sales numbers from this territory mirrored the overall NPD numbers since launch?

With the exception of Sports games, taking a percentage of the US market can get you real close to CAN, for like years and years now.

Always goofy in launch years due to HW allocation, and varies based on currency strength.

 

[Welfare]

US + CA PS4 > US + CA BONE?

No way PS4 won NA. Right?

 

[LilZippa]

I sure wasn't referring to the US.

C'mon guys keep it together.

So PS4 is the console of choice for our neighbors to the north?

 

[The Shogun]

I sure wasn't referring to the US.

C'mon guys keep it together.

Ah, talking about Canada.

If the guy who leaked last month is accurate that would somewhat surprise me. Not that Bone took the month but overall sales looked to be closer this time around. Who knows though other retailers could have had Bone far far ahead I guess.

It begins.

 

[Trevelyon]

710k or closer to 7-10k.

 

[Birgitte2004]

Amazon.

Normally but if you look at the deals in December, Amazon was pretty much the worst place to buy a PS4 for the month.

I don't think that's typical at all. At least I can't think of another month where retailers had all kinds of deals and Amazon basically didn't.
