Wow at the huge VGC - NPD difference on the Wii. Though the NPD number remains high and nothing to sneeze at I must say I am disappointed. Was hoping to see 3 million sales. Oh well.
I wasn't here last year so am very surprised at what I read saying that same thing happened at the Dec 07 NPD release (ie VGC overtracking Wii by a mile) and that ioi (Brett) adjusted down and then with the finacial reports from Nintendo, readjusted back up.
Seems hard to believe that NPD would adjust November in its December release (not very professional I must say).
But agree that financial reports from the 3 constructors will bring the light, it does still allow for major leeway in regards to the difference between shipped and sold to consumers and everyone is entitled to their opinion as to what amounts are sitting on shelves (or in transit).
Anyway, great job on the rest of the figures which were pretty spot on (but does that really mean anything based on what we are saying NPD does with its Wii slaes figures?)!
