Why are the numbers SO far off for the PS3 Americas vs NPD?

VGChartz Numbers - November:

Console	Wii	PS3	X360
America	1,342,483	732,134	1,457,921

X360  1,457,921
Wii 1,342,483
PS3  732,134

 

NPD Numbers - November:

Xbox 360: 1.37 Million ( 68%)
Wii: 1.27 Million ( 0.8%)
PS3: 530k (-25%)

The PS3 looks VERY overtracked.  And seeing the "adjustments" I bet it is being overtracked quite significantly in EMEAA as well.

 

1. You're comparing VGC sales (USA, Canada, Mexico, South America) to NPD numbers (USA)
2. The higher the numbers, the easier to make mistakes, especially when Wal-Mart doesn't tell their sales to anyone on Black Friday-Month.
