Speaking of cherrypicking...  I like how you were diligent enough to correct for the undertracking in February, while leaving in the overtracking in 2012.  Your figure is 55k higher than the NPD figure.  Per NPD from November-February, the PS3 sold 1058.7k  the Wii U sold 1008k.  Of course the PS3 has one more week in that comparison since it launched earlier, but it is unlikely that the Wii U will sell 50k+ the first week of march.

Did VGChartz not adjust for NPD numbers in 2012? I legitimately didn't know that, wasn't cherrypicking.

They haven't, I'm not really sure what the reason is.  There are a lot of glaring issues with the 2012 numbers all over, even weeks and months after we've received sales and shipment data.

Yeah that's really bugging me actually. We have the confirmed figures, but it just shows neglect and lack of interest that they refuse to change their own numbers which have been proven incorrect.

wait isnt the graph based on Jan NPD, not Feb?

It is, yeah. But this was more a general rant that all consoles (Wii U, PS3, 3DS, 360 etc.) have not been adjusted despite seeing numbers to suggest they need to be, with the latest NPD being the best example of how far off the tracking is thus far.

ohh your talking about vgc tracking? im really tired at the moment so dont judge me if im acting stupid lol. and yeah, vgc tracking is just waaaayyy off. in terms of millions when it comes to ps3 and 360
