Wrong. Well, half-wrong. Here are the monthly VGC and NPD estimates for 2008, so far:

See now if people would come in and complain by doing this type of homework then I would listen to them.  You said this doesn't include adjustments so I don't know if PS3/Wii/360 have been adjusted up or down relative to this figure.

 

But one thing remains clear by this if no adjustements.  THE PS3 NUMBERS are correct overall so no adjustment there so you guys can settle down.  Now 360 on the other hand looks to need to be dropped down.

 

And where was all the bitching and moaning in April when VG had PS3 75% higher than NPD.  I don't recall a huge outbreak of complaints and stuff.  You guys really do just follow whichever is more favorable to your console that month.
