So we shouldnt believe VGChartz, NPD, Famitsu and ChartTrack...
And GfK and Media Create.
Financial data has to be accurate, so it's the most absolute and accurate data available. You don't believe what Microsoft and Sony tell their shareholders with regard to how many units they sold?
The other data are all estimates. Collecting regional estimates for some countries and there being a lot of uncertainties with regard to other regions, it does not take a rocket scientist to understand this data is far less accurate.
Just look at the differences between reported figures by NPD and VGChartz, the webmaster agreed in the past the NPD has far more resources and thus their data is far more likely to be more accurate with regard to US/Canada data. According to NPD US/Canada data the PS3 is still well ahead in terms of YDT figures, like I stated earlier in this thread. So I used the NPD as a source myself, which makes your comment look pretty strange to begin with.
