Not a bad idea. There have been certainly worse ideas on kickstarter that got massive funding. Problem I see is that you would have to get an insider. Like someone that worked for NPD for a long time or something to get ball rolling. It is all about connections.

I would also imagine NPD has deals with companies to collect their data.  I'm sure they'll probably try to prevent someone else taking their spot.  Then, you have the companies that might not want their sales numbers out their to prevent a PR disaster. A lot of hurdles to overcome.
