Can't we just continue using NPD in the titles here ?

I will probably end up using both going forward.

The new name seems way off to me, "The NPD Group" was a perfect fit for a company doing market research, Circana sounds more like... the name of an AI or something. Maybe all their estimates will be AI generated from now on?

But since I'm here I'll place predictions as well:

Revenue: 445k

[PS5] 525k
[NS] 275k
[XBS] 240k

sounds like a cross between a circus and some kind of a bug.

Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

So we now know JP,UK etc had very strong PS5 sales in Feb. Supply in the USA also looks very strong and hence expect the JP/UK strong trends to also occur in USA and elsewhere #PS5 https://t.co/3kkhmRShb7 pic.twitter.com/LSHgP98quO

That is why the name sounded familiar to me! Cicadas!
