Well hey, it seems like some people here are seriously complaining about NPD's schedule *cough*BraLoD*cough*


Yup, I'm serious.

Really stupid decision, some big amount of sales of one month going to another, if we have a close month this may decide it to the wrong side, what is a hit to a job who is supposed to be of quality.

If PS4 keeps showing a better envyronment now, but in December MS gets more agressive and we have a better December for the XBO than to the PS4, NPD can end going to the PS4 anyway because of this considerable amount of sales coming from a another month. Or vice-versa.

It just doesn't make tracking sense, at all. It may do schedule sense, but that should not be the priority.


NPD's role isn't to keep tabs on who wins. NPD's role is to track sales. To do that, it's irrelevant how they split sales, but it makes sense to have a set system (4 weeks 4 weeks 5 weeks).
