NPD does, as far as I know, not break down sales into weeks (much less a few days) so all sales in this current "sales trend" would be masked by the data from the rest of the month, so there is no real advantage for Sony/MS/Nintendo/other video game publishers in the sales being counted in november instead of december.

Not what I meant, just that they go either 4 or 5 weeks as the tracking period, though.

I know. I was talking about you saying they should include the rest of the trend, and I'm saying to you that they can't specifically see which sales were a part of that trend, so there is no real reason for changing their tracking period, as it doesn't benefit anyone.
