to be fair to vgchartz, they never really made a mistake, as they state the numbers are ESTIMATES. which basically means the numbers are bullshit and probably way way off! lol. its true though!

All tracking companies numbers are estimates.

 

 

NPD is the closest we can get to accurate numbers.

If you say so. To me and NPD not having 40%+ of the market to count allows them the ability to be just as off as VGC or any other tracking firm. Just look how far off the two Japanese firms are from one another most weeks.

EDIT: Read norlead's post, also shows NPD has historically been farther off than VGC.
