In Japan the companies release the numbers themselves. Media Create, Famitsu and Dengeki release the lists to the public every Thursday. Nothing is leaked. The reason that the numbers in Japan are distributed publicly by the companies themselves is because there is competition between all of them for clients. The NPD Group operates a monopoly in the U.S. and also has retailer and publisher pressure which keeps the numbers private. |
Hehe. Yeah I know. I just mean giving data to the public isn't an issue for companies there. Here, it's tigher than classified information. From the way this thread is going, I wouldn't even want to be exposed to them.
