I hate seeing VGChartz being so off in the numbers.  They were over 25% off if not further as far as the sales go.

It really makes them lose their credibility, many sites quoted VGCHARTZ numbers when announced.

Zelda informer also had it on their facebook page and an article on their site, but it's been removed already.

 

Makes me sad :(.

VGChartz is a useful tool, certainly, but most credible journalists probably know to take these sort of figures with a grain of salt.
