3DS - ~380K

"While the 3DS sold about 100K units less than the DS did in its launch month, we must consider that the DS launched in November and had holiday seasonality and a price differential of about $100. "

Damn, so VGC is spot on with the 360, but overtracked the 3DS by ~205K.  Things may not be looking that great for the 3DS in the near future.

360 was slightly undertracked but close

Well, its not so big of a difference to require any adjustments.  Remember NPD also use estimates to come up with their numbers, just like VGC does, so they are not 100% accurate, either.  So when its this close (~6K), we can say spot on.
