But I question the validity of the "leak" because if they are going to go through the trouble and leak the numbers, why combine these supposed numbers as 3ds/wiiu/vita combined around 84k? It sounds like bs. If they have the numbers, and want to leak them, is it hard to tell the whole story? It sounds like bs. Gaf leaker: oh look! I have the official npd numbers here! They're somewhere around 80k, and they include multiple systems. I don't have time to give the real breakdown, it's too hard to type a couple of lines of text.... As it stands, there are absolutely no real npd numbers available for those. It's bs.

The smaller the number, the closer to the NPD real figure they have to post. And since they're not allowed to do that, this jeopardises whatever real job they have that buys in the very expensive NPD reports.

All < 84k is good enough with other info to get decent ranges.
