VGC is often higher on 360 than NPD. It was quite some time ago, but I recall ioi explicitly stating that he feels NPD undertracks the platform. |
It's very difficult to say that, however, because not everyone has data from every retailer. NPD doesn't get walmart and possibly not Toys R Us. I don't think VGC does either. Best Buy disproportionately favors Microsoft. Toys R Us favors Nintendo. Walmart has favored Sony.
So what you've got here is a lot of guessing from everyone and checking with "shipped" numbers.
VGC can think NPD is undertracking NPD, but Microsoft is still paying NPD for numbers so they must think they're pretty good.
