Not official numbers.

For a country as large and with such a strong economy they a very low numbers.

NeoGaf has banned VGChartz numbers.


Numbers in OP are official, source is in the gaf link.


"The figures are derived from the market research company Media Control GfK."

 

market research 


How different is that from NPD? None. These are the most official numbers you'll ever get country wise until Nintendo updates that chart they show with each quarterly results.

And how is it different from VGChartz?

As wrong that VGChartz might be, and they are a lot, it at least has a long record.

NPD has what? 20 years of experience and historical data.

One thing I can assure you, neither Microsoft nor Sony  were using VGchartz numbers to give their last month total sales. So, unless VGchartz re-arranges rest of the world sales there is very little room to give or take sales for both consoles.

And for that matter, it dosen´t matter small local variations, the big picture is still  overral 4 to 3 sales. With the formar being cheaper and with a broader distribution.
