It is within the month. So if something launches earlier in the month it has an advantage over something that launches later in the month. 

Soooo basically Halo 3 sold twice as quickly as Smash did?

 

Still impressive but this handicaps the real competition for #1 spot. Now it's guaranteed. 

No, the NPD reporting period for September 2007 was Sept 2nd to October 6th, the game released on September 25th so it had 11 days of tracking.  Smash has the benefit of launching earlier in the month and in December, nothing to take away from its sales (Smash will have 29 days of tracking for December's NPD).
