I don't wanna be that guy, but unless we are talking Globally in the US, NPD only concerns NA.

Apologies for being off-topic, but would you be so polite as to explain where this term originated from Henry-San? I have seen this before and understand its meaning. Just not sure as to how it came to be. Much appreciated in advance!

No problem. "Globally in the US" is a phrase coined by former user TheDrill, when he was describing how the XboxOne would overtake the PS4 in sales, first in the US and then Globally. His original comment was dubious as he stated it would sell globally from "there", but the implication was locally as in the US, rather than temporally, or after that moment in time, which seemed like his intention.

However, it is his response that led to the VgChartz meme: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6307186

It's funny for a variety of different reasons. My favorite is that it unintentionally comments on the common view, at least here in the states, that US is the center of the gaming world, if not the actual world.
