NPD Sales Numbers

[Mark]

Just wondering where you guys pull/see the numbers from; do you just pull from article quotes, or does staff have access to reports directly from NPD? I was googling and couldn't find any links where I could look over a whole report.

I was interested in looking at a report for next article. Or maybe I can just ask you guys (Rich since you're probably the only one who really looks at them) to look something up for me.

We get ours from http://www.npd.com . (AKA the NPD Group). They actually(... actually, lol) do reports for pretty much anything, but you can sign up for individual news letters.

I went to the site, but could only find a link to get general information about NPD from them and not any specific subscriptions to reports. Specifically, I'm looking for sales numbers to date, by console, for a couple of titles by region. Not sure if this is something that they include in reports they send out via newsletter anyway. Anything you can forward to me?

[Cory Jacobs]

Yeah I can just forward them to you, the link to sign up is buried deep in the sight. You just sign up for it like a newsletter.

The next time you say "NPD numbers" on the podcast, see if Rich knows what the acronym abbreviates.

I like that gag.

[Hines]

Any numbers you hear me say on the pod cast are completely fabricated and are meant to be taken seriously as if I actually looked them up.

nod.
