NPD for US, Nintendo (GFK) for Europe and MC for Japan... all the three tracking services are in line with VGC numbers... GFK Australia showed accuracy with VGC number too. Nos just expect the Q3 shipment from Microsoft to confirm the overshipped issue. Thanks. |
At least you bother to mention the sources.
But without wanting this thread to go round and round and round you said "all three tracking services are in line with VGC".
How can you say that about NPD?
For december we had 360 at 2.8m. NPD had it at 1.6m. That is a difference of 1.2m. Or 42%.
Wii at 1.7m and NPD had it at 1m. That is a difference of 700k or 41%.
PS3 at 1.25m and NPD had it at 940k. That is a difference of 310k or 25%
3DS at 2.035m and NPD had it at 1.6m. That is a difference of around 400k etc etc
You could do the same for last months and you would see a similar picture.
SOme of them might be in line (in truth I have not checked so will take your word) but NPD isn't in line.
Which strengthens my point that if your basing your own theory of who won 2011 on vgc numbers then what is to say it isn't out by a lot? Because based on the last two NPD's they are all major over-tracked. Which makes it even harder to determine how much is on shelves in those territories. As I said before there is no real way to determine who won accuratly. And BUSINESS' use shipments as the main sales measurement.
