NPD has put pressure on publishers to keep from publicly acknowledging VGC's sales figures as valid because them doing so was undermining their business model. Publishers were quick to acquiesce due to long standing business relationships and contracts.

VGC could be right on the money for a major publishers entire catalog but they won't admit it now thanks to NPD's efforts.

This has nothing to do with NPD, they don't even track downloads.

 

Not the point.  Any credibility given to VGC, whether it be download sales or retails sales, undermines NPD's business model.

 

And I'm not telling you this out of speculation, I'm telling you this from industry knowledge.

 

Nice conspiracy theory, but if he made this comment after being pressured by NPD as an attempt to discredit VGC then he didn't do a very good job as he didn't even mention the site.

Sorry, but I need more than "I have industry knowledge" by some random poster on an internet forum where anyone can claim anything.

Like I said, we'll probably get MM9 numbers in their financial report, so we'll see how well it sold then.
