I'd really like to see you prove Bunkum doesn't have access to the data. For last month he provided data that was not in any of the Top Software lists which NPD gives to the people who pay for the information like www.gamasutra.com, www.gamespot.com, etc. I'm talking truly esoteric rankings like 3 year old last gen software (in both dollar amounts and raw unit totals) compared to sequels. That kind of information is hard to fake realistically, and not available on other websites. Just because you have been screwed by other people, it doesn't mean you are being screwed here. As for the small changes in Bunkum's data last month, it was delayed because the month was five weeks. Data he had was what NPD had given out at that point, to people with access to the report, but it was not finalized yet.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
