Hehe VGC happily pretends they don't adjust to NPD data but will no doubt make huge adjustment when Nintendo shows their figures (which are always based on Gfk for Europe and NPD for USA :D )

No. Nintendo uses their own tracking system company not related with NPD or GFK.

ioi thinks the Nintendo tracking is more accurate... comparing it to NPD I guess he is right (NPD tracks just 60% of the US market), but I guess GFK is more accuracte after all (tracks 90% of the UK market) but GFK doesn't show numbers, just positions.

I can't find them but when we had expanded results they clearly based graphs on NPD numbers.

edit: I found some older stuff:

Look at what is described as source for graphs.

So my bad... I guessed Nintendo uses Nitendo for WW... but seems like their use NPD for US, Media Create for Japan and Nintendo for Europe (own tracking system).

The WW graphs sample...
