Who else thinks NPD will show a very different number than VGC (July)

Seriously guys this is silly. There are widespread shortages of the 40GB PS3 as in what is in stock is selling out and not being replenished and 80GB is arriving in limited quantities. PS3 is hard to find at the moment, online and in stores. How can you think this is something the site is making up or whatever?

Also, after shipment figures were released, we adjusted PS3 DOWN in America and Xbox360 UP - so shows how far we think NPD were off when we have been tracking higher than them for 360 and lower for PS3 anyway!

It won't suprise me in the slightest if NPD are higher than us for PS3 this month by a few thousand, doesn't mean they're right.

 

Exactly who says NPD is right... I find it odd that the fanboys of the system in last place for the week/month are always the ones who complain.

 

There's a thing in statistics, where taking a sample isn't necessarily going to be a more accurate reflection of the population (total)
