| Jlmadyson said: After seeing that comment, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if NPD pulled their data for next month and for at least a couple of months after. Like last November except that they actually go ahead with doing it this time regardless of the gaming community. Thus, only those who paid would see it. I honestly would not be surprised at all. |
I'm sure they have considered this possibility but if they do, there will be NO public information available other during that period. Guess where people are going to go for their sales data? If they do, it will be a win for VGC. If they don't, things just continue down the path they currently are going... neither is a positive road for NPD. Ioi can slam the door on NPD with 3 or 4 wins at the retail level in terms of cooperation in providing data. The day that happens (and it will if Ioi keeps pushing), NPD is in trouble. The best part? They know it. I suspect this will get a lot uglier in the near-term.
