There are some things to consider in this thread. 1) NPD is an estimate, but it is very accurate, just because it does not include some retailers means nothing. They get 60% of the total "REAL" sales from retailers and approximate the remaining 40%. Unless retailers sell in vastly different ways there is no way they are off by that much. 2) NPD is for all of NA if I'm not mistaken. This includes Canada and Mexico. That's why on the site right now when it says NA it includes Canada and Mexico, both of which NPD includes. 3) The CNBC report for the console numbers was wrong. NPD came out and said so themselves. You can google it if you like. I believe the words NPD said about their information once they saw the figures was "simply inccorect" and then they went on to say CNBC did not even talk to them at all and they obtained those figures from other people. (i.e. they got them from an analyst who says he thinks this is how much is sold) Just like in November, when analysts were saying 360 was going to sale 750k to 1 million, uhuh. That would be 511k. This site is pretty reliable thus far...much more so than nexgenwars.com who is way off on PS3 and Wii sales.
