I wouldn't count on these being entirely accurate. Look at what happened to MP Trilogy. The game sold less than 59k for sure since those were the numbers for the Nº 18 game in August. So with MP Trilogy not being in the Top 20, the real MP Trilogy numbers according to NPD could be even lower than 50k. VGChartz has them at 115k for the same timeframe.
So I would just wait for NPD numbers before fully adopting these figures.

Bets with Conegamer:
Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.
