gebx said: The NPD Group has begun tracking paid online subscription markets, which should give a better picture of the overall videogames and PC games market. http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9057&Itemid=2 NPD will now be releasing the quarterly Video Game & PC Game Subscriptions Report, which will provide data on “market size and title shares for paid online subscriptions to videogames and MMO/PC games, gaming Web sites, and videogame console services.” Millions of Xbox Live Gold subscribers also pay $50 per year for the online service. "Data is drawn from “thousands” of gamers 13 years of age and older who are part of NPD’s 3 million-person consumer panel." Anyone know who these gamers are?? Cause I can find thousands of gamers on here and neogaf forums and make up my own list.

that right there gives every reason not to trust the numbers. Why cant they get Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft, Valve, and EA to give numbers?
