Ouch. A little off are we? Vgchartz may haver to step it up. Being accurate is very important.
But the beauty of firms like the NPD is that it helps keep the site accurate and in check.
Well, they are an estimation as well, although one with more experience/data than us? Either way, it should not be looked as an absolute, although if our data converge, than the resulting number should be pretty accurate. (to a degree)

You realize the software is Canada NPD only right?
November was excellent overall, and individually. October was similar, just different ideas on Xbox 360.

Wow very close, I don't mind the adjustments, but do they make them, or do they stick with their own data?

True, but accuracy is still importaint. If the US/Japan/Europe numbers were a bit closer then there isn't too much to worrt about.
If this wasn't targeted at me, please disregard, I guess.
Interesting that the 360 version of Guitar Hero 2 placed both times, but the PS3 version of GH3 did not.
The numbers of vgchartz of november you give, are not the actual, and are not those you use when you did the first comparison with npd.
For memory, the old numbers were:
| System | Canada NPD | US NPD | NA NPD | NA VGC |
| DS | 120,000 | 1,530,000 | 1,650,000 | 1,578,957 |
| Wii | 82,000 | 981,000 | 1,063,000 | 1,157,936 |
| Xbox 360 | 59,000 | 770,000 | 829,000 | 881,881 |
| PS2 | 30,000 | 496,000 | 526,000 | 547,176 |
| PSP | 33,000 | 567,000 | 600,000 | 520,502 |
| PS3 | 51,000 | 466,000 | 517,000 | 488,149 |
isn't the difference between the VGC and NPD for PS3 and PSP for November sale on the edge of limit. it look like around 20% to me... so which one have less salt.:)
But nonetheless u guys r going gr8 job..
