Not as confusing as I do!
As I've explained many times - we get data, we extrapolate it, check it with other data then post it up on the site. I expect some differences with other tracking services - it's inevitable - but month after month I'm shocked with how the data NPD releases makes no sense and seems to yo-yo. Some months it is way higher than ours, other months way lower, and for no real reason!

I am at a loss as to why NPD thinks the videogame market has almost crashed in the last 5 weeks.
Wii:
Jan - 170k per week
Feb - 188k per week
Mar - 120k per week (36% drop)
PS3:
Jan - 50k per week
Feb - 69k per week
Mar - 43k per week (38% drop)
360:
Jan - 77k per week
Feb - 97k per week
Mar - 66k per week (32% drop)
What the hell?
Oh, and PS2:
Jan - 25k per week
Feb - 33k per week
Mar - 22k per week (33% drop. And that includes the price cut as well doesn't it?... or am I mistaken)
And DS:
Jan - 128k
Feb - 147k
Mar - 113k (23% drop.... Pokemon slowing it's drop I guess)
PSP:
Jan - 43k
Feb - 50k
Mar - 34k (32% drop)

Are you sure you can't think of a single reason? There appears to be a pretty obvious one.
Debating with fanboys, its not
all that dissimilar to banging ones
head against a wall
