I'm pretty sure I know the answer considering we're on a site about sales, but I'd like to hear some opinions on the whole situation and what kind of alternatives to NPD's secretive monopoly on game sales there could potentially be. |
In a world where everything is free, that would be cool.
In the real world, like the one we live in, NPD pays a shitton of money to distributors to get their data.
If you don't like them, you can also try GfK, which is a much bigger organisation than NPD, so there is no monopoly per se They will also charge you an arm and a leg for their US data, though.
