Okay, either I'm misunderstanding something, or a lot of other people are.

These analysts made "predictions" for year-end sales a couple of weeks before the year ended, and were off by millions. Is that not bad?

 

Are you assuming they used VGC numbers to make their predictions?    They likely used NPD, MediaCreate, Famitsu, Chart Track-GfK and official shipped figures.

Considering that, they seem quite valid to me.

Yes, I guess I have, but do the different sources really differ by that much?
