Nice. Seriously, why are you even here?
Seriously, I don't understand this whole movement to discredit the NPD numbers. They are the best you are going to get. I am sorry they "might" have undertracked the Wii for one month. I am sorry they "might" have overtracked the PS3 at some point.
That's part of the problem. There's no one else to get numbers from, so everyone uses them. And since we never know how far they may be off or how much they might change their numbers, we can only assume they are 100% correct, and since companies have no other place to get numbers from, they aren't going to care if NPD is 20% off one month, as long as they are correct generally and agree (for the most part) with shipment data.
Since VGChartz is generally close and it agrees with shipment data, and is usually only off by a little bit from NPD, I don't see why people jump on it for disagreeing with NPD for one month, since we didn't agree with NPD during December, and happened to be right.
