As people have already said, there was an adjustment this week in the past American data to better coincide with Nintendos shipment figures (he had actually adjusted down due to NPD totals only 1-2 weeks ago) Considering iois small sample had the Wii sales in America much closer to the truth than NPD I think he did pretty well. It's becoming very difficult to argue against iois hardware numbers for any major region. In fact I don't think there have been any discrepancies with data from the smaller PAL markets for a while now either. I personally am not so sure yet with PAL software [or some American software] but it is certainly getting more accurate.
