I think the problem is, England and Australia have weekly numbers, everything else in monthly or yearly... NPD is not free, but key information is leaked about the major developments, and the major industry news websites get access to that information when it comes out. From what I can tell, M-Create, Dengeki and Famitsu are free...largely because of the Zaibatsu, as the Japanese government needs to make sure the people's money is invested wisely.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
