Honestly I found this decision weird, but anyway:

n order to best serve our clients, EEDAR has chosen that effective from December 2009, EEDAR will no longer be providing monthly sales preview notes. In replacement of this EEDAR will now release an industry review note that will sum up the monthly results and release it the day after official estimates have been released. In 2010, EEDAR will also be providing a worldwide review note once per month.

No different than anyone elses. Some hits, some misses.

Didn't VGchartz do an analysis between all the Analysts (might have been another outlet that did it?) As i recall, everyone was pretty much in the same boat.

Makes sense. Why provide a pre-number analysis when all those points could be worthless once the data comes out?
