1) I totally agree..It is the first time that I don't want to defend VG because I am not for 100% behind ioi's numbers anymore..
2) Well, I am not sure about Europe either;..=/.
I think the numbers ought to be adjusted, seriously. I think Sony is getting a little undercut here. And also Girl gamer elite has to be the one of the most anti sony people I've seen on the site, why is she posting the amount of sales of the three systems (which makes Wii look good, which seems to be her constant objective) on a thread about the PS3 supposedly selling 10 million? Whatever, I hope the numbers get adjusted.

you're predictions are joke ,,please don't try to make us laugh,,,you are saying PS3 will sell only 7 million by the end of 09?It sold 10 mil in 1 year and 4 months with high price and lack of killer titles,,so you're saying it will only sell 7 mil in the next two years which is pretty ignorant.

So what your saying is that unless VGChartz directly reacts to NPD on a monthly basis by adjusting VG numbers to mirro those of NPD, the site lacks credibility? Such a move would only tell the gaming community that the site had no confidence in its own numbers and that NPD is always correct.
This would be a huge mistake given that in some instances VG turned out to be MORE ACCURATE on hardware in the last quarter of 2007 than NPD in the USA.

that's right but in this case microsoft accepted that PS3 outsold the 360 in NA,for the month of Jan,,in a interview done 2 days ago,don't you think if the data was inaccurate microsoft would point it out instead of accepting it?
John_Doe said:
the same for me. I've defended this web as a very god market guide and as very good hardware sales prediction, especially in spanish forums. And this month NPD is far away from VGC numbers and this is hurting vgchartz reliability |
Not to sound redundant but on other forums GameFaqs and IGN i often would argue with others who claimed this site was unreliable and now i can't cause well it seems it is not as relieable as previously thought.

MikeB regularly claims that elsewhere he defends the site's data, but whenever he is actually on the site he questions any data that DOESN'T support the PS3.
In this case, the bolded sentence is clearly incorrect when used a general statement like that because, as I pointed out, there are times when VG hardware tracking is better than NPD's.
