Still waiting on that proof that shows that vgchartz numbers are close to being accurate. How the hell are you even going to prove that?

What's this? LTD shipment totals for the 3DS based on Nintendo's own numbers showing 32.48 million consoles shipped as of the end of this June?

Well, by golly, VGChartz shows 32.14 million 3DS consoles sold as of the end of this June!

Those two numbers sure are pretty "close" with an appropriate difference to account for consoles still on shevles, wouldn't you say? After all, it's impossible to sell more than you've shipped, and it's improbable that the number of consoles currently sitting on shelves is greater than the number shipped during the last quarter (1.39 million).


VGChartz regularly retrofits numbers to match shipped numbers. Remember the GT5 numbers?

Also, that doesn't show us how accurate the sales numbers are. It just shows us that the vgchartz sales numbers are close to the official shipped numbers. And since we do not know what the actual sales numbers are...
