For normal NPD subscribers (like me), nothing changes at all. They release the same day as usual, and they just include physical numbers.
One week from now a privileged few NPD subscribers (the major publishers) get combined physical+digital data.....that excludes digital data from Nintendo + Sony + Microsoft + Sega + Bethesda + Smaller publishers.
Normal NPD subscribers aren't allowed to access digital data, so I can't leak anything from NPD's digital feed....and neither can people like Creamsugar.
The NPD Group is only doing a PR release for the physical+digital data, so that's why you haven't heard anything about the Top 10.

Man, the top 10 will be meaningless now, when some titles include digital and some don't. Wish they would've provided charts for both physical and physical+digital.

Exactly, that's what sucks about it.
There's no point in having a Top 10 if some of your titles are physical and some of your titles are physical + digital. Rankings are completely nonsenical when comparing sales performances.
I'd actually prefer it if NPD would just stick to Top 10 physical only....at least that's better than garbage rankings.
