Just stop the damage control, there's nothing to argue about NPD. They track more than 95% of the retail US market (and the top5 retailers), Toys r us is barely 1% nowadays.
NPD USA Retailer Marketshare, beginning of the 8th gen (approx. 2013):
1) GameStop - 30%
2) Wal-Mart - 25%
3) Target - 15%
4) Best Buy - 12%
5) Amazon - 6%
6) Toys R Us - 1%
----Top 6 comprise 89% of the USA market
Prediction: End of 2015 Hardware sales (as of January 20, 2015)
