NPD

I was reading an article on Maximum PC about how the NPD is finally starting to look at digital download sales. This has a definite impact on any type of industry forecasting. Everyone and their retarded hamster uses the NPD numbers to say things like "PC Gaming's sales just don't seem as lucrative as console sales.", which we all know is worthy of flying ninja kicks to the face. Now that they're collecting the digital sales data and reporting more accurately they're showing that the greater evil of capitalism has been successfully posting comparable numbers in both the Console and PC arenas. This makes me happy.

The real question is why did it take so long for them to adapt to current market conditions and to finally begin the foray into recording digital goods/services being purchased?
