Now the Wal-Mart excuse can die. Odds that January's data will be delayed for "software upgrades" to incorporate Wal-Mart's data?
Oh snap. Wish I'd asked about that today while I was on the phone with them. :( Good point, donny2112.
 
Last year Wal-mart started sharing, but not specifically with NPD.

Ah ok, makes sense.

I'm looking at your site and is there any section for cumulative NPD data? I'm interested in seeing how 3DS did before holidays to see how they do after holidays now.
 
[3DS] 396K
[360] 354K
[WII] 212K
[PS3] 208K

First time entering predictions. Probably wrong - especially on 3DS. Not sure where to estimate that so soon into its lifespan after early volatility.

I don't post on my blog anymore, if that's where you were. Best place for data is probably right here...
