NPD October 2015: XBO 303k, PS4 275k Wii U 65k, Halo 5 935k

[DerNebel]

Someone should ask NPD-George about the Uncharted Collection, I gotta know what it did!!!

[Xevross]

Holy fudgy hell this NPD is doom doom doom. These numbers are astonishing

[ethomaz]

And banned in chertz.

I wake up this morning with pms from the mod team begging to me change my attitude and I replied "you know what I don't care anymore... ban me... do what you want".

All started with the ban about "Halo 5 flopped".

The pro-MS act ban team there is so funny... they are killing the community (well it was hinted year ago).

But the new low with the mod team crying to me stop to post opinions about things happened was really a new low for mods in chertz.

Your posting style can in fact be pretty annoying, you know? It pretty much equals to nothing but finger pointing at MS and laughing at times, while completely ignoring or glossing over Sonys shortcomings. I mean have you even acknowledged that the PS4 and the Uncharted Collection had an at best underwhelming month or did you straight go to laughing at Halo?

That's irrelevant though. You don't need to acknowledge ps4 or Uncharted to point out Halo. Especially considering Halo is the biggest flop of the decade if vgc is consistent with their definitions.

PS4 numbers are pretty low after the price drop.


 276k if confirmed.                

My post in the NPD thread was sent to Smeags days ago because he banned me because I posted "From UK we know Halo 5 flopped"... so I send him a friendly message saying Smeags after NPD out I will wrote in the thread "I told you Smeags that Halo 5 flopped".
He know and agree that it was true... Halo 5 indeed flopped hard.

But they thing to say something that happened in a forum is trolling/flaming or anything else.

I think even more dangerous to the forum are these guys claiming "digital should be crazy a lot" or enter in defensive mode because his franchise flopped.
The mod team is a joke... they didn't banned me to be fair I replied to them saying ban me, you are cool guys but the way you handle users are utter battleship... sorry it is true... it is better to ban me because I won't want to fight the mod team again... you guys didn't learn the first time years ago...

The numbers of Halo 5 are atrocious and they shows how flop Halo 5 was in terms of sales.
PS4 did terrible with the price drop.
Xbox One did terrible with the key bundles.
All NPD TOP10 games sold miserable.

I love GAF because there is no battleship defense force or anything like... you are free to say what you thing and use facts to show you way to thing is right... if anybody disagree then he needs to shows facts too... it is how discussions happens.

I had a big fight against the mod team years ago in VGC and I lose because they didn't grow up... and it was sad because I really liked and admired the work they did there... to be fair most guys left the mod team.

Uh.. isn't the mod who told you to never utter a single word about anything Xbox related ever again like.. literally a Sony employee?

See how hypocrite and ridiculous they are? It is just something a mod team can't do ever.
BTW they tried to fear me saying they will revoke my access to some VGC sub-forums if I say any work related to MS, Xbox or any game related.
I can go ahead they wrote 2 wall pms to me crying a lot, begging me, accusations and trying to make me fear.
It was weird because it was like a bipolar woman trying to be reasonable.

He wasn't just "pointing it out"

gamrConnect Forums - NPD: Halo 5 Sold Less than 1M in October

 BOOM

gamrConnect Forums - RUMOR: Halo 5 sold 1.4-1.5 Million in US

From NeoGAF.

 http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=184510409&postcount=1656

 "I've heard concrete information that Halo 5 launch numbers will be some of the lowest yet. Like 1.4-1.5M low. I'm willing to polygraph with an admin if need be, I've seen how inside information is dealt with here "

 He was vetted by Head Mod at NeoGAF.

 http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=184512938&postcount=1681

 The source said it was retail only, and other companies like EA, Ubisoft, Take-Two report around 10%-20% digital sales, so probably 20% maximum coming from digital would be around 1.68 - 1.8 million total.

From someone that openly admits to being a PS fanboy this just comes off as an extremely obvious attempt to stir up shame.

Uh.. isn't the mod who told you to never utter a single word about anything Xbox related ever again like.. literally a Sony employee?

Ex-Sony employee I believe.

In my defense I did one comment in thread with my opinion.
All the others are replies to people talking with me.
I do reply to all guys here too... on GAF... I'm just not the guy that left a discussion without explain my points.

So if you want to be accurate say I did only one comment in the thread with my opinion.
All the others replies were to people not opened enough to accept the facts about Halo or even that my opinion was based in what Halo 5 performed.
I don't know how to explain but anything that happened, the bans, the replies, etc will change Halo 5 utter flopped.

Smeags agree via pm that Halo 5 looks to be flopped but tried to say I can't say it because it is me... because the MS side of the forum don't accept that.
I don't how even start to put words in the reason they ban me.
Why a forum exist after all?

It is like when Nintendo guys (that I love) get mad because I said "Nintendo gamers needs to stop to be crybabies and go to stores support 3rd the games to change the decisions about games like Rayman being delayed or not in Nintendo consoles"... the biggest Nintendo mod go for my head due this comment... I was being friendly to the guys to tell them to support 3rd in their platform.

From your perspective, sure. It might seem hypocritical and ridiculous. To others it might just be about dang time.

Sorry Etho but that is complete Buuuuullshit.

It is not... GAF works fine with opinions, discussions and bans.
And they handle with way way way bigger community.
People don't need to accept your opinion... everybody in GAF have opinions but they discuss in a funny way and didn't get over themselves.
It is a nice place to post and talk about everything.

From your perspective, sure. It might seem hypocritical and ridiculous. To others it might just be about dang time.

What the others thinks didn't have to affect a good moderation.
But I said and asked to ban me if they wish...I don't hate them for that.
I won't fight the moderation for the best again like previous years.
