Can someone tell me what the best way to get NPD data is? It seems like you need to pay for access?

I've Googled articles and whatnot, but I really would just like to have all the data compiled in one place.

You have to pay a small fortune for it, I think. Most of the data will be compiled in the usual NPD monthly thread here based on leaks from guys that get info from NPD

If you are a male, befriend a female that has access to the data- If you are a female, befriend a male with access to the data (there are other combinations I won't go into the details). These reports are stacks of paper, not just a few numbers (nobody would pay thousands of $ for just a few numbers).

God of War: Ascension - Will be hugely undertracked (even more so than God of War III was/is). It will be the biggest video game release in the US of March.

Vgchartz estimates = 550,000.

My prediction = 700,000 in March. (500,000 Week 1, 120,000 Week 2 and 80,000 week 3.

Its possible, in line with VGC undertarcking all God of War games everywhere in the world...however its not necessary.

God of War Acsenion was bundeled with every God of War game for 59.99 and it was number one in gamestop for a couple weeks. And still it dropped 80% in its second week? I really doubt that.

My prediction is similar.

(600k 1st week, 200k Week 2(God of War bundle must have stopped it from getting less than 150k), 85k Week 3)

Starcraft will almost certainly be above SimCity.

Total sales definitely but I think that SimCity's retail sales will be higher than Starcraft's. SimCity only sold 54% of its games digitally.

http://news.ea.com/press-release/company-news/simcity-sells-more-1-million-launch

Starcraft probably sold 75%+ of its sales digitally based on diablo 3 selling 6.3mil week one and yet only selling 1mil on its first NPD month.
