There were bundles, so several copies are missing here. Not even mentioning that they don't directly track Walmart but "caculate" their sales.

This applies to all games though. I'm not sure it makes a big difference.

No you didn't understand, they directly track all the big retailers in the USA, except Walmart and another one, they kind of speculate on their sales by using datas of past years when they used to track their sales directly. So NPD's accuracy is not quite perfect considering how big Walmart is and past years trends never repeat forever.

Perhaps I should make it more clear. When NPD doesn't track Walmart data, it not only doesn't track the sales of GT5 but all games. Hence, numbers we see for every game are "calculated" (as you call it). Unless you are suggesting GT5 is selling extremly well in Walmart, I don't think the calculation would affect it so much.

That's what I meant, as far as I remember there was a special offer at walmart for the game and PS3 bundle. But can't find it, I kind of don't know what keywords to use on google to find it again.
