i dont get this npd tracking holy grail thingy, they could be even more of than ioi for some games.
they dont track every sale, they use a lot of math to get from sample numbers to npd numbers. |
Let me know when console makers send out press releases in response to VGChartz updates.
|
that doesnt mean the numbers of npd are better... nobody i taking iois numbers because just he knows how he got the sample, we know the sampling method for npd. but that doesnt mean that they have the right numbers, they dont track all sales, they use math just like ioi(i realy hope he isnt just guessing). if ioi has a better sample his numbers could be better(a bigger sample doesnt mean a better sample, and we know that npd has to use alot of math to get the sample into shape) im still looking for the right thread for this discussion, link? |
Well, the NPD numbers are far better than VGC's. The sad thing is that the data is private since 2011, so we actually get all the numbers from leakers from then... Ah and also, NPD tracks dozen of thousands retails shops, that accounts for 95%+ nowadays, from a sample that big, it's very accurate to have the real 100% data. And I doubt VGC gets even tracks more than 1%... Hence VGChartz always update to NPD numbers when they are too much off from the real numbers. It doesn't mean that VGC's data is bad, it's just less accurate, but we get it on the weekly basis which is better.

What the...? Guys, it sold more than 3000,000 in the US. Are you guys stupid? |

Yep. That seems to be just a random guess by a random NeoGaf user.
|
creamsugar is the main leaker on GAF since years, it's not a guess, it's real.

So there´s no proof at all of Bayo2 being overtracked? |
Actually... no.
All that we have are just speculative information. We will only be sure when Nintendo publishes its next financial reports.
|
Yes it is overtracked... it is a proof.
If you consider THIS a rumor, then consider all the USA sales data informations we got since 2011 a rumor... which is non sense. It's real, accept it.

Duh? This?
Other 2014 new games, no bundle, with special edition.
Yoshi > 400k
Friends ~ 400k
Kirby: > 360k
BD > 350k
FL: 142k
Golf: 102k
PVP: 73k
Sonic 3DS: 73k
DKC: > 440k
Musou ~ 370k
B2 < 135k
Sonic WiiU: 68k
This seems too random to be legit. Which game is supposed to be "Friends" ? "tomodachi collection" ? Why would they use the japanese name?
I still prefer wait for official numbers before any arguing. Internet videogame forums are always full of guessings.

1. You will never get Nintendo's numbers for most of these games because they don't sell well.
2. that data is still Official, it is just private and get leaked... it's really expensive and therefore dangerous to leak, so creamsugar as other leakers hide himself with cryptic messages, nothing 'random here'.
