from Nitnendo's Investor Relations page (which no one likes to read)

"So far, the graphs I was using were reflecting Nintendo's pan-European estimates based upon the sell-thru data gathered by independent research companies in Europe."

WOW, so ... do we know these "Research companys"?

try going to the page (type Investor relation Nintendo in google). Yes, it is GFK and so forth. If you are trying to discredit Nintendo you won't be capable of it. Nintendo isn't allowed to "make up" numbers. I don't know what you are trying to argue here.

Thats fair enough... and I agree... but arent these GFK numbers published and available on a regular basis? 

Why is it a bolt from the blue resulting in adjustments going back to launch of PS3 and 360?  I think that is a fair question to ask, and there may well be a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Nintendo posted the freely published numbers in a later slide (where the quote is from). The numbers that are in the slide on this thread are from a combination of sources probably non-published & published numbers.

ioi already stated why he adjusted the numbers, so obviously he believes that Nintendo is correctly portraying the private information in a way that will help this website estimate different region's marketshares better.

@seece

so if they (GFK etc...) aren't 100% right, why the crusade against VGChartz adjusting the numbers. obviously if none of them are right, then how can VGChartz be wrong? (obvious answer is by posting numbers that are higher than shipped, but this isn't the case)
