Well that Jarrod dude brings up these leaked NPD numbers whenever VC sales come up, so I guess the two are inextricably linked now. Please forward all complaints to him. |
Since you're a moderator, I might as well ask you this question:
ioi is the site owner correct? He currently has made it a bannable offense to create or talk about shipped numbers vs sold numbers. We know shipped numbers are always 100% right - Sony, MS, Nintendo know exactly how many units they have sold - whereas sold numbers are always based on a formula. NPD. Famitsu, VGC, Degenki, ChartTrack, Media Create alll use a formula to estimate sales and with that I think we can all agree that there's room for error on estimated sales. With that said, shouldn't it be bannable to discuss vgc sales with other trackers? Since it's now bannable to discuss it with shipment sales - again shipment being the most accurate number there is. Maybe this question would be better directed to ioi.
Finally, I hate to tell everyone I told you so when I said Anihawk does not have access to NPD data.
