As others have done, I congratulate you on this development. And, as a question, would this bring back historical NA data? Also, two suggestions that I think would make some data representation work for everyone: 1) Add another category under America for Monthly. (People are so used to this I can understand why the change to weekly was not as well received as you originally thought it would be.) and 2) Add another category under Japan for Monthly. (This is completely for comparison purposes. I know I like to compare numbers between Japan and America on a monthly basis without going through 4/5 weeks of data.)

Fantastic news - it won't be long now, before this site is *hands down* the only site on the planet for game/console sales & discussion. Well done :))

It's great to see NPD and VGChartz working together for the common good of everyone who likes to follow the video game industry! :)

Numbers are like people. Torture them enough and you can get them to say anything you want.
