In any case, software numbers are often proven to be off when the npd report is released and gaf starts getting the numbers.

You *do* realise that NPD uses the exact same methodology as VGChartz, right? They collect a sample, and report on numbers by scaling it up.

And the great irony in all of this is that NPD doesn't even do people the service of telling them how many retailers they use in their monthly sample, so despite the protestations of so many anti-VGC people, there's no way to know whether VGChartz or NPD has a higher sample size.

Simply put, if you assert that the NPD numbers are "right", that where NPD disagrees with VGChartz it must be VGChartz that is wrong, then you're demonstrating your complete ignorance of the situation.

I have no doubt that NPD has way more resources and is more accurate than vgchartz. Which one would you trust more?
