On a related note, I trust VGC numbers over NPD numbers.

I wouldn't trust either.

I'd take all the different data you can get (VGC, NPD, Analysts, Shipments Reports, Company PR) and form your own opinions - I think the whole point here is not to trust anyone and assume that each source has different potential error margins.

From what I've seen, these two are the most accurate. Sure you could be wrong, but so could others.
