VG Chartz #'s are full of it?

Very true Very true. A monopoly is not normally a good thing for the consumer and neither source is 100% accurate. I was just saying that as far as I know VG has nothing to lose by giving bad information, while NPD could lose a lot of money if nobody trusts them even being a monopoly.

Best choice; take both into consideration when trying to figure out the # of sales.

 

Truth ;-p The real answer is probably somewhere in between the two numbers. Maybe we should just average them together hehe.

That's what I normally do, and if there are any other relatively reliable numbers I add them into the mix too. However, right now is not really the moment for crucial number accuracy, as the 360 is still around 2m over the Wii, and the PS3 numbers still have a lot of catching up to do before, say, a 5% discrepancy really becomes an issue. I think it's beyod safe to say that for now:

Xbox360 = #1

Wii = #2

PS3 = #3 

For now, I'm happy with the accuracy of VGC and NGW, NPD, et.al.
