meh, I don't care about over/under as compared to npd. They are only estimating as much as vgc is. You guys would be jumping all for vgc if the numbers were showing PS3 leading here and losing on NPD.

What I do care about is that ps3+360 < Wii. :)

Wii on to 50%!

 

 NPD estimates?

Were did you get this from? NPD gets retail reports they dont estimate anything

 

I see the ignorance is strong with you. NPD doesn't count every system out the door. They don't have any data from Walmart or ToysRus, so they have to estimate something.

Walmart is out right the biggest electronics seller, and ToysRus does extremely well on the Nintendo front.

I'm not claiming NPD sucks, but at least I know that they can make mistakes.

Im not being ignorant..

Also assuming they estimate wont get you anywhere, there is a reason why console makers use NPD and not other sources.
