I just don't understand how any of the manufacturer's could possibly get 100% accurate sell-through data to put in a financial report.  Does Sony rig every point of sale register with a trojan that uploads data transactions to a distributed database networked world-wide?? If so, why does NPD exist? If NPD exists for a reason, wouldn't they need a tracking firm in every country they ship to???

Well, you see they count the PS3s as they're leaving the factory and getting loaded onto the boat! Amazing isn't it?

Yeah, exactly...
