    Re: NBA 2K16 Hits 4 Million Sales Milestone in First Week of Release

    I have a co-worker who doesn't even like basketball and traded Madden for NBA2k16. It was then that it dawned on him that he hasn't gotten what a real sports game should be like.

      Key word " selling-in". Basically mean they have sold 4 million in to the channel. 4 Million copies have not been sold. Always read the press release in marketing speak. For developers, shipping to retailers means the game will probably sold.....at some point. It may take months..... but the inventory will be depleted at some point. The NPD data will give you an idea (not the full picture) of sell-thru when that is released.

          Well deserved. Great dev that has shown the ability to deliver to the fans - Very glad to see they are reaping the benefits of this.

          Now imagine if they were ever able to produce an NFL game....
          Blessed...

                        No

                        Its the dev work people love. I don't see anybody mentioning how much they love marketing information delays in here.

                        Give me a break.... Especially coming from the dude who said its the same ole anyway

                            What makes this even more impressive is that it took NBA 2K15 until Feburary 2015 to sell 5.5 million copies and almost a year to sale 7 million copies.

                              I think the NBA as a whole is really hitting its stride in terms of popularity. Social Media effect on sports has really benefited the NBA the most of all the big sports because at its core the NBA is about marketing its stars. Through social media every player and especially the stars let the public get to know them on a huge level, more than in any era in the past creating a more emotional connection between players and fans. Just think back 15 years ago, did any of us know what T-Mac, Chris Webber, Vince Carter, KG, Kobe, Mike Bibby etc. were doing after games, before games, hanging out with their families etc. Nope, we just saw them for 2 hours 3 or 4 times per week on our televisions and thats about it apart from professional style interviews where they are giving canned answers and Inside Stuff once a week gave you a glimpse.
