I guess the idea is that if you pay for the data like NPD or someone you have significant pull over like MS then it is more likely to be accurate. Or something like that anyway. More than likely the real reason to use the term "polling based" as though they don't use them themselves is because they know how bad that sounds to the average internet user.
I'm really curious to see what kind of numbers MS will eventually put out there and how different or similar it will look to VGC's.
