So you don't have any proof then and are just guessing, sorry i asked the question and you have to come up with the proof. Who says npd's numbers are off, again you have no conclusive proof.

 

 

Please come up with one intelligent reason why NPD would break with the standard approach and not adjust there numbers ... Please just one reason why they would accept being a tracking firm with useless data.

Because their data was so good to begin with that it doesn't need changing, how about that for a possible reason. Plus like i've said before how do you know what changes have taken place at all? Do you think a multi million company with decades of tracking knowledge would come up with significantly wrong data in first place that when it gets changed it significantly changes the original ltd's?

 

Then how do you explain March 2008 when the DS posted a huge number despite no major releases or promotions? That sure seemed like an adjustment. Definitely suspicious.

 

 

Ok hang on here for a second. I've been told several times in this thread that npd goes back and adjusts their data for previous months if they 'got it wrong' so therefore the total ltd that is released is wrong......yet now what you're saying is they just add it on to the next month to be reported which if that's the case then the total ltd is correct and it doesn't matter if they changed it because will still have the final total ltd.
