I believe they were wrong the last two times that numbers were compared vs shipping numbers.
You may remember because Ioi said he wasn't going to blindly adjust for NPD anymore because they've been found to be horribly wrong.
Then everyone bitched and complained... so he did again... and the last shipping numbers proved them wrong again.
It's possible Vgchartz formula may actually be better then NPDs. Or atleast VGchartz formula + Adjusting vs just NPD's formula, without adjusting (aka public numbers).
Not that i'm bemoaning them for not adjusting the numbers in the public, i mean they have to charge for something... but it's stupid to know they don't and think it's silly that they can't be less accurate. (in public numbers.)
Anyone who has had sufficent training in statistics should be able to tell you the same.
Either way, i'd guess Ps3's are just selling right now. GDC seemed very positive for them, blu-ray finally getting the decisive deathblow on HD-DVD. There are reasons a spike could be possible.
