There’s no excuse for this ignorance. It’s time for another competitor to step in & run NPD out of this realm. VGChartz is just the start. There’s no reason for all of this cloak & dagger secrecy. If the game industry wants to hit the bigtime then it’s going to have to act like a bigtime industry. TV has Neilsens, Movies have Box Office, Music has Billboard. If they can do this on a weekly basis in Japan, there’s no excuse for this BS in America. While some don’t care about the numbers, others want to have a deeper understanding of how the videogame industry works. Do your job NPD or get out.

Agreed. I have never seen GfK American numbers published (yes, they track Americas, too). Time for them to step up?
