tell=sell

Pride:

Like other companies boosting your total software sales with including digital only games that cost 50 cents is shamefull in their eyes.

Or

The digital only games sales are not so great and instead of showing the truth they don't want to tell us because now every dev believes the Eshop is a gold mine for indies.

I’d guess one of two things.
First, they haven’t received a worthy offer for their sales data.
Second, it’s a corporate shareholder thing - limiting data to quarterly reports rather than third party distribution.

I don’t think Nintendo has any personal grudge against NPD or vice versa. Nintendo has often touted NPD numbers. Nintendo also doesn’t share digital numbers with anyone (not just NPD) outside of their own quarterly reports.

I can only assume that if they pay, then they actually include numbers.  We don't get numbers, and that makes the report trash.

We don`t get reports at all. But on leaks we get the numbers. So you are comparing and complaining of pointless stuff?

Just pointing out what you just said.  The NPD report is pointless.

Then you have a very hard issue with reading, yout complaining is of pointess stuff. The NPD report have value as showed by plenty companies paying for them, most likely Nintendo also pays for it. You don`t receive a report but calls it a report (when it is only a rank and few paragraphs of text) just to complain about it, which is one of the pointless stuff.
