@Don, no... just no. First of all an employee would not be able to track the sales of each game sold during his shift. Unless 1. he is the only one working and 2. he takes a tally each time he sells a game. On top of that the employee wouldnt be able to track sales when he isnt working. Finally, if a manager saw it they would probably get in trouble... ya know because its against the rules. NPD probably pays a survey group to collect legit data on the US market.

As for me? I checked solid figures for a little bit right before launch. I didnt throw them around freely and i certainly didnt give out SW sales because that would be impossible. Also, i certainly qouldnt do it on a daily basis if I were asked to

Even if the employee don't keep track of everything sold in his turn if they do inventory he can now how much have left... or if he see cashier closing. Not sure how against the rules would be for a employee to say they sold 100 HW of this maker on the month, but ok. It seems like you want Brett to show more than needed or that he will willingfully shows.

You may haven't posted exact figures, but you gave info that could be used to estimate sellings, that is if people tought you numbers to be credible...
