How close does everyone think NPD US and NPD Canada combined will be to Vgcharts?
I think of it like this..
My Mom and my Dad theoretically know me equally well. If you asked my Mom how many friends I have, she would give an answer similar to my Dad. NPD is like the closer parent, more worried about trends, has more coverage...but the other parent is no slouch either.
Basically, if I have 8 friends, Mom might say 7, and Dad might say 9. In reality, if I have 8 friends then they both know me pretty well.
Vgcharts I think is going to end up as the second parent, meaning that it will essentially attain NPD's level of trust in time, even though figures will never match...At the moment, I think to the outside world Vgcharts is still seen as the wacko redheaded uncle.
