VGC NA sales for first 19 months:

Wii - 77M

X360 - 38.6M (largely incomplete)

Ps3 - 33.8M

 

Minus 10% would be

 

Wii - 69M

X360 - 35M

Ps3 - 30M

 

As opposed to NPD, which has roughly this (your graph)

Wii - 55M

X360 - 33M

Ps3- 22M

 

So we are  25% above them on Wii, and 36% above them on Ps3. All of the above is roughly estimated.

 

Outlaw - this might be of interest to you - http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=27550

It's my thread. It's a bit old, but some interesting info perhaps.

 

VGC counts Wii Sports. NPD does not.

So Wii software is in the same vicinity as NPD, when wii sports is included........but there is a large discrepancy with PS3 software. Any particular reasons popping into anyone's mind?

 

MGS 4 bundles could be a bit, but still not a lot. 896K is all it has sold at the moment of this I believe. (End of June)

Was Motorstorm bundled?  If you take out Resistance and Motorstorm completely (overcomensate), it's still more than 20% off.

 

I forgot about them taking out the MGS4 bundles.........but still, like you said, somethings way off in either VGC's or NPD's America software. It's quite odd. Any explanations ioi (or the mod team?).
