As stickball was saying, individual video games are much much harder to track and guesstimate than consoles. Not only because they usually sell less than consoles do (excepting the PS3.... ok no more bad joke attempts from me) but also because the sales of individual games will vary wildly between store chains and between stores within a chain. Also NPD doesn't cover Toys R Us anymore and not only are they a major Wii game seller but they had a massive sale in November that caused virtually every Wii game they had to be sold. I'm sure NPD factored that in but how well? No I'm not trying to argue that accounts for the 60,000 unit discrepency.
