NPD to stop giving numbers to public?

Well I fear that the futures part of SE may be short-lived.

The data is there for all to see, DS shipments to North America during July - September were about 50-60% higher than the amount NPD said were sold. Of course we have stockpiling for christmas etc but you get a similar situation with Wii which is in a perpetual state of sellout.

Compare to Japan and shipment figures are very close to Media Create / Famitsu - suggesting to me that they are doing a far better job than NPD.

If you say so, I don't need to look, do I? Well maybe if I wanna bash NPD a little. I will look if I have time for that, but I don't believe so. First of, I will do that little favour for TheSource. Needed some day of programming the last couple days, but I'm back now :o) Well maybe I'll help MrStickball a little. Actually you will get a Email most likley today from me with some question. But thats nothing to discuss in public :o)
