NPD will release its report on US videogame sales for the four weeks ending May 31, 2008 in a little over three hours from the time of this post.
I worked out a deal with Pachter a few weeks ago to have him quote Vgchartz Americas numbers in his reports. Since the Americas covers more than just the USA, the numbers he quotes from us for the USA are (VGC Americas data * .9).

My article on NPD expectations can be seen here. Top selling software can be seen in the VGC report, we expect Wii Fit, GTAIV, Mario Kart, Wii Play, Rockband, and others to be in the top ten.
