Eh, I would never trust a company who adjusts it's data just to make it seem like they were right all year rather then offer a simple and honest "my bad".

 

 Wow, that's just retarded.

Way to take it out of context.  Kasz simply means for example that a company reports 600k for month 1, then during month 2 they realize they overtracked by 50k.  So instead of reporting 500k during month 2 they report 450k.  This company would be less trustworthy than a company that intially reports 600k for month 1, then adjusts the amount to 550k, and reports 500k for month 2.

 

VGC certainly does the latter, though it's up in the air as to how NPD handles corrections.  I'm inclined to believe that they do not adjust future months, but instead release corrections to paid customers only.

Nintendo always has reported to retailers, it's just due to Wii's being nearly sold out WW for so long the numbers were very close.  Also, the difference in shipped and sold can most likely be attributed to the often proclaimed and also often denied stockpiling.
