Oh geez, people. This is a PRESS RELEASE from Nintendo that was posted by Business Wire (a press release distributor) that contains information Nintendo requested from NPD for the press release.

Sony could have asked for the same info any month they wanted to.

Well its facts. No harm done by telling the truth. Should Sony stop making PR for PS4 being the fastest selling console of all time when the PS2 will eventually surpass it?

So you both are going to tell me this news won't be told as ..."NPD says......." in every gaming site news then?. Is not just a Nintendo PR, is a NPD PR through a 3rd partner in businesswire. In fact, this very thread is called "NPD:.........."

So...I think you've gotten to the root of your problems here. If you notice, the only data that's actually confirmed to be from NPD is the Switch sales data (8.7 million for its first 21 months) and Nintendo being the top software publisher for 2018 so far.

The rest of the data (software sales and all) should be assumed to come from Nintendo itself, as it is likely that they are adding digital sales to the retail sales estimates given by NPD (which is definitely the case for that first eleven days sales data for Smash Ultimate).

In other words, you're taking offense at the thread title being inaccurate (as it should read Nintendo instead of NPD).
