NPD earlier remarked that they would start tracking digital sales with retail, in partnership with the EEDAR. Nintendo's initiative is
preempting these plans, perhaps so that they can be more transparent about their own game sales to the public. NPD Group has received criticism for not providing an accurate picture of total game sales, while Nintendo has been abuzz about the high numbers they have been seeing for digital sales of their games, especially since they intensified online efforts on the 3DS and Wii U.
