Yes, NPD is far more accurate and when there is such a major difference, I would trust theirs over ours

 

ioi has said that NPD fudges their data to make up for errors in previous months, whereas VGC goes back and corrects the actual public data. This has accounted for e.g. an apparent drop in NPD X360 and PS3 sales during GTAIV month.

 

ioi is suddenly some high emperor who knows alot about NPD... he must have some "insider" I guess....

Somethin like that. It's called the worldwide totals sony released for their console this year. Presumibly from NPD.

They found out their numbers were off vs shipping when the financial reports released...

and now suddenly there is a big descrepency that matches their errors and brings them up to where VGchartz had everything.

Famitsu and Media Crate do the same thing.

The only worrisome thing is the 360 numbers... but as has been said.  Ioi has a "special source" for that... which he will likely check with before making any adjustments.
