Where are the adjustments VGC? Guess they'll have to do it when the NPD numbers roll our in a few weeks.

No, you said NPD undertracks all consoles (because they don't include Walmart). Did you change your opinion?
|
No.. they do undertrack, but it's quite obvious the VGC overtracked on the PS3 for the U.S. market last week. When the NPD comes out it will show this, just like it did in Jan. Supposely NPD makes an estimate on Wal-Mart and the other retailers it doesn't track and includes that into their totals. Don't know how true that is. I haven't had time to research it.

No, it's not.

That's your opinion. I'm sticking with mine.

NPD Figure for PS3 (Jan 2011): 267,000
VGChartz Figure for PS3, Americas (Jan 2011): 318,801
VGChartz Figure for PS3, US (Jan 2011): 318,801*87% = 277,357
So a variation in January of 3.9%, which is perfectly acceptable.
You've claimed VGChartz massively overtracked the PS3 in January and, as a result, believe it is overtracked in February also. But, it appears the tracking was almost perfect in January, so what is your reasoning for supposed overtracking this month?

PS3 US/America ratio is not 87%... for end of Dec 2010 is more like:
Wii - 85.5%
360 - 85.8%
PS3 - 84.9%
318,801 * 84.9% = 270,662
VGC on spot in January for PS3... so close numbers between NPD and VGC.
So you are right ;).
That's LT ratio of course... some months we had PS3 close to 70% because the sales outside US is growing up.
