GAME	IGN/NPD	VGCHARTZ(AMERICAS)	%DIFFERENCE
RE4	759,000	990,000	30%
RE:UC	398,800	510,000	28%
Okami	165,900	200,000	20%
Z&W	116,600	160,000	37%

 

Now, NPD is for the USA and Vgchartz is for the Americas (USA + Canada) which as a rule of thumb is 110% larger than USA alone.  So do you really want to call this overtracked?  I mean really, that's pretty damn close and I applaud Brett for his work.  but hey, haters will always hate...

edited for visual clarity.

Americas is only USA and Canada? I thought they included Mexico and the rest of Latin America ?

 

Explaining Data on VG Chartz

1. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft define regions differently. Microsoft includes more than Japan in ‘Japan’ on financial reports for instance.
2. “American Weekly Data” is VG Chartz estimations for sales of the United States and Canada, plus slightly more for developing markets in Central & South America. Canadian data tends to account for 5-10% of USA hardware and software sales in any given week.
3. The million selling software section is shipment information from publishers – it is not sell through.
4. The LTD (lifetime to date) hardware section is shipment data from publishers about what has been shipped since the product launched. LTD hardware is directly from 6 month financial reports.
