I found the answer to my question, I think...

A retail calendar is used to calculate NPD sales numbers
So for September's NPD, the month was defined as: Sunday, August 28th -> Saturday, October 1st.

does that mean that the ony Pokemon games sales listed are just presales?  Cause if the game didn't come out till the 3rd then it still shouldn't have been counted in september's NPD?

edit: apparently EBgames & Gamestop released the game during the last two days of September, which means it sold for 3 days of the september NPD and before its actual release date.  So don't think Pokemon was a Pokebomb just yet...

That is my main beef, I don't want a RED DS, I want black one, but I also want the bundle. Do they sell all black DS's?

you're gonna have to sift through THIS thread and compile it yourself cause I haven't seen a direct NPD comparison yet either.

oh... happy hunting, it a big thread and all the NPD data is a little dodgy when it comes to actual DS or GBA #'s, even combining them some of the time

All but 2 of the PS2 pics look barren and washed out in comparison.

Less lighting, detail and environmental addage, but I'm sure you won't notice while playing the game.

That post showed great analytical skills.

Nintendo Gaming / RE:A new rumor about the Revolution
« on: October 11, 2005, 10:44:45 AM »
I say bundle the Rev with a Zelda:TP special edition, that will make all the people that bought the original upgrade to the Rev  immediately, and all of those that wanted to play the original but waiting for it to hit a bargain price, to hopefully just pony up the cash and get the upgrade. Not to mention those that either never owned or sold off their cubes that were planning on (re)buying one(specifically for this game) to just pick up a Rev instead.  That would make me want to buy NOW moreso than a free download from some system that I haven't missed for 5, 10 or 15 years.  

Granted that there are games I never played from past systems that I have always wanted to play(i.e. SMRPG - snes), but if I have done without for this long, its not gonna bother me if I never play it either. Its not gonna be the talk of the year, its not gonna come up in casual convo, and since it was sooo long ago that I never played it, I'm not gonna remember(or care about) what I'm missing.

Nintendo released them where? ...no I didn't look around, I'm way too lazy for that.

And the grafix are, ok... but I'm probably not viewing them at the right resolution, it would probably look better in motion and on my TV

General Gaming / RE:Can Xbox 360 be hacked? 10 Dev Kits stolen...
« on: October 10, 2005, 07:55:21 PM »
But do you think that they(MS) would really care during the launch period up untill the release of the PS3 if it meant that they got that installed base lead that they are so desperately hoping for?

Could they update the security code and render all mod chips and hacks useless or even the Xbox 360 itself useless if modded or running unlicensed code?

and as far as piracy hurting 3rd parties more, while that is true, think of all the money Sony should have made on the PS1 & PS2 that they didn't.  They should have dwarfed Nintendo's profits and MS's dept. put together. Sony wouldn't be in the financial situation that they are in right now if piracy didn't hurt.

You could argue the other side and say that most people that pirate are getting games that they might not have played otherwise, buying systems that they might not have bought otherwise, and might not have expanded the market to the tremendous size it is at right now. but thats alot of If's, Ands, & might not's.

So the DS is fixable? hold Start-select-A-B when you start up and it returns to the original state?
that would still make it a slap in the face of PSP if the DS could still reboot itself to a working state., if infact true

Well the system is in the hands of modders, that is where the pics were supposedly coming from.

It is mostly a lot of speculation on my part, but I though that it is all very plausible condsidering what modders tend to accomplish with any piece of hardware they get thier hands on.

General Gaming / Can Xbox 360 be hacked? 10 Dev Kits stolen...
« on: October 10, 2005, 11:38:37 AM »
...3 recovered.

Heise.de a german news site, is reporting about 10 stolen Xbox 360 development kits (XeDK). ZakMcRofl on the xbox-scene forums translated the news to english:
Quote

According to reports of the news magazine Spiegel ten top-secret prototypes, so called development kits, of the new console Xbox 360 have been stolen from Microsoft. The console won't be released until december 2nd [in Europe], just in time for the christmas business.
The devices came to germany from Hongkong together with other Microsoft products on "Air Delivery pallets" in a neutral packaging. From a storehouse in Düren they were supposed to be shipped to game developers.
Just a few days after the theft pictures of the new console surfaced on the internet. Meanwhile the Austrian Bundeskriminalamt in Viena and the public prosecution authority Bonn are investigating the case.
So far (some) homes and offices in Niederösterreich (Austria) and in Troisdorf (Germany) have been raided (searched) and three consoles have been confiscated. The remaining seven devices remain lost.


Do you think Xbox 360 will be hacked? will it be hacked and have mod chips available at or around launch?

Microsoft did make a big deal about thier anti-moddable system, and how they put security down in the lowest level of the system, actually building the console around the security of the system.

But those damn modders are very good at what they do, and there is a big money market for what they are doing(it is legal in Australia afterall ). I sure it not a question of if, but more a question of when. Will it happen before christmas? That would be a disaster in MS eyes, but probably would sell more systems in the short term leading upto the PS3 launch.

Can MS ugrade the security through bios updates in games similar to PSP? Would that make a mod chip rendered useless?

its money out of their pocket either way, it would atleast be best to have their "sold" #'s to look better in comparison to the competition, by making you buy a new one(see PS2).

Yes with grammar like what I quoted above, you couldn't have written it better yourself, but that was a joke that I guess was just a little to low for someone of your HIGH (or HI?) level of intellegence or grammatical expertise to catch, I'll be sure to include a smiley face next time.

"Couldn't written it better myself." or "Could not written it better myself"
should have been
"Couldn't have written it better myself" or "Could not have written it better myself"
get it? hahaha, ok... nevermind

I have been told many times by people in the press, that I do extremely well in terms of writing and grammar - so KEEP you cynical bs remarks to yourself, mate! I DON´T need you negative feedback, it has NO place or relevance in a Forum like this,

You should submit your credentials into the appropriate threads as this one is about Nintendo being smarter than we thought, not about you jumping to conclusions about people you have never met and know nothing about. And I don't need YOU negative feedback either

The sig has to do with Nintendo's Rev Controller and I quoted it from Pale, that's why it has his name at the end, so take your grammar issues up with him.

Sorry, but I just got enough of being looked down on by people in this forum. I try to give some good textual input to the forum, using sometimes hours to research a topic to ensure it is a good read, and all I get is being nearly totally ignored, or pissed on, like you just did!

Focus on your OWN mistakes, and correct them, before you pick on other peoples mistakes!
for being in your late 30's you sure do take what a binch of  people on the internet have to say WAAAY too seriously. These forums are for entertainment, conversation and debate. Just because I choose to not focus my reply on the bulk of your post(that you spent hours researching) and instead make a small joke off of a tiny comment you make at the end, you get irritated because you feel like we are ignoring you? You act as if I am here specifically here to bully you, but I can't think of anytime I have ever said anything negative towards you? So now I am LOW and have EVIL in my heart because I have a sense of humor?

You, MATE, need to get a life, I don't have anything personal against you, & I don't wish to fight.  If you don't have a sense of humor and don't like what I(or anyone else on the forum) writes, maybe you should listen to yourself & follow your own sense of logic.

Don't know if this weas mentioned yet

4GB PSP HD w/ built in 3600mh X2 battery power
Quote

Datel have done it again!  This is truly what all PSP owners have been waiting for!  4GB of storage!  Up until now, the largest storage that has been available to PSP owners was the 1Gb Pro Duo Memory Stick.  Then within the last week or so, we have seen the emergence of the 2Gb Memory Sticks, with their large price tags! However Datel are always on the lookout for the next exceptional console-related product.  One of the first major products for the PSP from Datel was the X2 battery -  with this you could double the playing time of your PSP.

And now they have gone one step further!

4x the memory(of 1GB MS ProDuo) and 2x the battery life, but thats not all...
also get a Max media get connected cable and software, which are all included and for less than the price of a 2GB MSPD or two 1GB MSPD
