Hardware sales[]
On October 10th, 2010 - just days before the NPD report for September would have been released - the video gaming website VG247.com released an interview with an NPD executive stating that, effective immediately, they would no longer release hardware sales numbers in their monthly reports.

Each hardware manufacturer will be responsible for releasing their own numbers, which the NPD will be willing to encourage and fact check, but there is nothing binding requiring them to do so.
- Xbox 360 - 483,989
- Playstation 3 - 312,000
- Wii - 254,000
- NDS - 403,000
- PSP - Unknown. Estimates between 79,400-190,400 based on reports that numbers are better than August, 2010 but worse than September, 2009.
