What is the margin of error for NPD, and what is the average difference between the numbers VGChartz posts and what NPD reports?

most capcom games are over tracked here going by capcom's shipped figure
RE4 ps2, capcom 2.1 million, here 2.75 million
DMC4 capcom 2.35 million here 2.49 million
Dead Rising capcom 1.45 million here 1.83 million
lost planet capcom 1.5 million here 1.84 million
so they are all probably over tracked in the US

Well resident Evil 4 and umbrella Chronicles still sold over a million cause NPD only tracks North America. There is still Japan and Europe.

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

GAME	IGN/NPD	VGCHARTZ(AMERICAS)	%DIFFERENCE
RE4	759,000	990,000	30%
RE:UC	398,800	510,000	28%
Okami	165,900	200,000	20%
Z&W	116,600	160,000	37%

Now, NPD is for the USA and Vgchartz is for the Americas (USA + Canada) which as a rule of thumb is 110% larger than USA alone. So do you really want to call this overtracked? I mean really, that's pretty damn close and I applaud Brett for his work. but hey, haters will always hate...

Wait, Okami is underrtracked? Awesome!

Okami

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
