IGN staff are really one of the last ones who should call some other popular gaming related things bull, they are among the worst, unreliable, biased, bought sources of gaming journalism ever.

VG chartz is always quite near the reality and they constantly update their estimations when official numbers appear. VG chartz is the best source for console sales figures available, there is simply nothing else similar, this is the reason why VG is still popular.

I disagree with the bold... VGC most times is far way from the reality but I agree with yout others points

Adjustments less than 100k after the trackers numbers is fine but we see more ~600k, ~400k, etc adjustments here that makes the numbers not even close to the reality.

okay I meant quite near relative. Quite near if you compare VG-chartz estimations with other ones who estimate console sales every now and than. Take the predictions of last month as example, VG-chartz was really quite near the NPD numbers with Xbox one and Xbox 360 predictions and than take a look at how far off michael pachter was with everthing. VG-chartz was quite close with Xbox One, Xbox 360 predictions, they overestimate the WiiU and PS4 just a little bit and they only overestimated the 3DS quite a lot. Pachter was really with everthing so far off, so I think VG is most of the time  quite near and the best thing everytime when they are wrong they adjust their numbers when official numbers arrive.
