The fact is, NPD say the leaks were false...

Can you prove otherwise?


Can you prove NPD weren't being dicks because in order to get NPD numbers you have to pay them and AniHawk was posting them on GAF for free?

Something tells me if NPD were correct in that they were false, GAF would be a lot more wary of NPD numbers.

I gave you a link where NPD say the leaks were false... You don't need anything else.

And as for your other link of the "250k sold", it isn't specified if that is Japan or US, or wherever. And he even says "Initial shipments of the game totaled just 15,000 copies". You really think VGC was off by THAT much for first week sales of 105k in NA? Really...?

No, they said some of the figures were inaccurate or approximations, before launching into the usual sort of dismissive tirade that Riley's known for.  I'm surprised certain segments around here would lend David Riley so much credence, given what he's also said about VGC being wildly inaccurate as well.

The Valkyria figures were also leaked beforehand though.  

NPD clearly state that the figures leaked were wrong...


DS definitely didn't sell 250k in Japan because otherwise every tracker would be undertracking it then unless they were talking about shipped. But since it isn't clarified we'll just drop that for now.

Sony published DS in more countries than just Japan.
