May I ask where this data is coming from? Where does NPD release their info?

NPD covers the North American market except for Canada. Canada's releases a bit later. They collect ... maybe 60% of retailers nationwide in the U.S.

I understand all of that. Im trying to figure out which website NPD releases their data on. In other words, what site should I be refreshing to look for the data? xD

Seems like DS and Ps3 are the big deviations, the others seem about right, once canada is taken into account

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
