For some reason, NPD numbers cover from March 4th through April 7th, adding in a full week of April. So it's the 2nd Thursday after the 7th, which is the 19th.
So this is another 5-week month. That's strange, since January was a 5-week month also. I thought every third month was 5 weeks, and the rest 4 weeks. Does anyone know if 2007 is a 53-week fiscal year?
I believe 2007 NPD is 53 weeks, yes. Thus the extra week in January, which was mentioned at the time. Some correction they need to do every 7 years or something. In theory, March, June, September, and December are always 5 week months then? I don't know.
Just be glad that they actually do release the numbers, unlike European ones, especially the UK Chart Track.
NPD numbers always come out 1 week + a thursday after the reporting period ends.
Unfortunately, I didn't know that March was a 5 week month for NPD. That totally screws my predictions over.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
Holy crap. I'm waiting on these numbers. I need them sooooo bad. I have a thread topic I want to write but I need the numbers to back my ass up. Now I have to wait a whole week.
TalonMan said: Ok, then allow me to be blunt... ...NPD sucks @ss. Seriously - why the hell is it so damn hard for them to get numbers out on a consistant basis? Japan has 3 different companies - all of which are able to provide weekly data. The US? "Well, if it's the first Sunday after a full moon and El Nino is in effect, then the following Thursday will have last months numbers. If, on the otherhand, it's a half moon on the first Sunday, then NPD numbers will be 2 weeks further away." I repeat - NPD sucks @ss. |
It's hardly NPD's fault for following exactly the same fiscal schedule as the companies whose sales they are tracking.
Well just to stop all of this anticipation for the March chartz I will say the biggest seller is....
God of War 2 with around 1.5 million- 80.5 million!!!!!!!
Actually I do think it will take the number one spot with total sales of 1.5 million as of March! I love god of War, biggest reason to buy a PSP and PS3!
