Yup. To clarify, I don't have access to NPD data directly but some months I'm able to get the official PR and Top 10 before public release and also some tidbits from people who do have access. 

Hence why some months I may post loads and other months I barely post anything at all. 

Do Cosmic, Cream, and John Harker have access to data directly or is it a similar situation to yours? 

All three leakers all have direct access....CosmicQueso probably lives in California and works as an analyst or for some big publisher. John Harker probably works for Ubisoft, and Creamsugar probably lives somewhere in China and works for one of the firms that get data over there.

ZhugeEX is kind of like...a pseudo-leaker. Sometimes a leaker, sometimes relaying conjecture based on existing leaks.

I'm the only leaker who has an active relationship with The NPD Group, so everything I post is sanctioned and approved by them. That's why I don't bother with any of that obfuscation nonsense.
