Microsoft released the shipped number for the quarter (1.7 million)... VGC is pretty accurate... so no adjustments needed (maybe NPD is wrong).


NPD usually wrong? I thought they were super accurate.

It more accurate than Media Create / Famitsu and less accurate than Chart-track (or the Nintendo tracking).

NPD just tracks 60% of the US market... 40% is estimated... just to compare Chart-track tracks 90% of UK market (this is super accurate).

NPD make adjustments month to month too.

Well NPD are known to make stealth adjustment so mayeb we shouldn't totally reply on every NPD that comes in. We all knwo that quartely report are the most accurate of course,  you can't argue with them.

Yeah... quartely report is more accurate.

My point is if NPD is right then the 360 is selling below VGC had it in AMEAA and over VGC had it in Americas.

Just to compare...

NPD (April/May/June):  1.07m in US * Americas could be something like 1.170m.
Microsoft (Shipped): 1.72m

So just 600k for EMEAA in three months?

Or NPD is wrong or EMEAA sales for 360 is a crap... I prefer believe in NPD is wrong... I know I can be wrong too.
