I'm really tired of the way you always talk to me, really..., reaaaaaaaaly tired. I read the article, its first paragraph clearly says ACCORDING TO NPD GROUP....bla, bla, bla. It's as if a read a newspaper and says..."according to Donald Trump the earth is flat". Is not the newspaper who's saying that....or maybe are fake news and he indeed not said that ant the blame is on the newspaper for quoting wrong.

But your pissed that NPD provided information that Nintendo asked for.  Sony could have asked NPD if PS4 was the fasted selling console through the generation every single month....but they didn't.  You get talked to this way because you have a hard time wrapping your head around simple issues.  Nobody else in this thread is having this problem but you.  This suggests you are either reading way too deeply into something that isn't there or are personally bothered by the news itself (or both).

It goes like this....

Nintendo: Hey, NPD.  We are preparing our monthly NPD based PR. Was Switch the fastest selling console for this generation?
NPD: Yes.
*Nintendo releases PR stating NPD called Switch the fasted selling console this generation*

But you are acting like NPD went out of its way by waiting for Switch to take a lead so it can marginalize Sony for Nintendo's benefit.

This is the very first post, trying really to convince i'm wrong, so i congratulate you. OK, you're right in this. 

But the problem still remains. This news will be read as "NPD says..." instead of what should be "Nintendo announces.....", and that's my problem. Is not confusing at all, you all know it will happen in every gaming site. "NPD says.....".

You still have to convince me that Switch is a current gen system though....
