Vgchartz are inaccurate this month aswell. Don't know why people follow this site if it keeps being wrong all the time.

VGC has been surprisingly accurate in the past few months on the software numbers. Hardware is another story but neither Wedbush or EEDAR are any better so VGC really isn't as bad as you might think.

Are you talking actual numbers or rankings?  Because they've been off pretty wildly the past few months.

From the numbers we were able to get.

April VGC/NPD

Luigi's Mansion: 230k/140k (including digital)
Lego City 3DS: 110k/94k (inc. digital)
Pandora's Tower: 45k/20k

March They actually did pretty well for the biggest releases this month.

Bioshock: 942k/878k
Tomb Raider: 687k/640k
Gears: 602k/620k
God: 584k/633k
Luigi: 451k/365k
Black Ops: 235k/>365k
Pokemon: 91k/145k

February

Dead Space: 496k/605k
Crysis: 418k/260k
Fire Emblem: 262k/117k
Rising: 336k/200k<MGR<260k

They did fairly good in March, but in general it is a far cry from the old claims of being within 10%.  I have to say though, I am very grateful to you for compiling all the info both from VGC and NPD in these threads.
