| Notes:
The above table refers to actual sales (based on my weekly estimates) which should not be confused with BPI trade deliveries or official OCC/CIN panel sales figures. The 400,000 downloads are registered sales of legal downloads (without making the distinction between IPDs and bundles) as reported by OCC in 2005. |
