I wouldnt mind an explanation when things like this happen. Just a "according to sources we overtracked the PS3 the weed of ______" and the numbers were adjusted. IS this from the holidays? This year? Its hard to argue the numbers and use them as reference when they change so often for reasons we don't know. I therefore always need to start off all my arguments with "as of now.." when referencing vgchartz. |
The reason for that is because of selective memory on your part. The other numbers get adjusted all the time, you just don't pay as much attention to it. When the 360 was hitting 10 mil, it got adjusted down several times and there were lots of people complaining about it. They all get adjusted.
Oh and other source more credible than NPD is the Company reports. While those numbers are shipped to retailers, they do give a general idea of where the numbers should be. For example, the Wii was actually undertracked a little bit according to Nintendo's annual report.
