Summary:

The release of September 2004 monthly NPD data was delayed yesterday due to technical difficulties at NPD. The data is expected to be released this afternoon after the market close.

so what bukhead posted was bullshit?

I think it's far more likely that the numbers were released not completely done, then recognized that something was wrong, and are now being "revised". He certainly wouldn't release numbers that were knowingly wrong or even from questionable sources.

 

[pilonv1]

Maybe they're revising them after Brazilian ninjas posted them at the "other" forum?

 

[Chi-Town]

From reading the messages over there, he got the numbers direct from the companies.

This makes sense. bukhead is a very reliable source.

 

[bunkum]

Agree with sentiments, buckhead is reliable its just that his source can be unreliable, second time they have given him uncompleted NPD

 

[thorns]

I guess that explains the rather low numbers then?

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

[Wario64]

If Microsoft bought copies of Fable and sold them again to retailers, would that count in the NPD? NPD padding ha ha

 

[DSN2K]

fable numbers not high enough I guess....

 

[COCKLES]

I bet Gah is holed up in a basement in NPD central, rocking back and forth with the Excel master workbook as they frantically try and coax him out... "IT CAN'T BE TRUE...IT CAN'T BE TRUE....".

 

[Deku Tree]

Apparently sonycowboy is right and the NPD numbers have confirmed errors.
