Nice conspiracy theory.

As for Fortnite.... microtransactions, DLC, Season Passes and ingame purchases are not included, the list is about game sales, that's it.

For PUBG the NPD are not given digital pc sales figures for this particular game, which is it's biggest platform.

Seems to me that you just hate the games at the top of the list.

Nice Ad Hominem.

Your post actually does not address what I'm saying.  For example you said, "For PUBG the NPD are not given digital pc sales figures for this particular game, which is it's biggest platform."  But other games do include PC sales.  This is one of the many reasons why the list is bogus.

They include all data that they are given access to. This is not "massaging data" this is presenting the data they have. So you're saying because a particular publisher doesn't give them digital sales data they shouldn't bother posting the list at all?

The reason PUBG isn't higher on the list is because the publisher doesn't tell NPD it's sales. The reason Nintendo isn't higher on the list is because they don't tell NPD their digital sales. This isn't NPD's fault or NPD massaging the data to put their favorites at the top.

Their is literally nothing NPD can do about that, it's up to the publishers like Nintendo.
