Amazing, you actually used the word undertracked... too bad it was applied to the DS and the DS was way over tracked last month and both you and TheSource come up with a sh*t load of excuses why you guys were right and NDP "could" be wrong. Also, the DS was over tracked by less than 10% ioi, is that really enough for you to make the above comment? Isn't that a "statistical" tie?
Anyway, here is a complete comparison VGC vs NDP (I used the VGC numbers leo-j posted):
| NDP | NDP +10% | VGC | Difference | Diff % | |
| Nintendo DS | 587600 | 646360 | 584153 | -62207 | -9.62% |
| Wii | 432000 | 475200 | 561332 | 86132 | 18.13% |
| PlayStation 2 | 351800 | 386980 | 273933 | -113047 | -29.21% |
| PlayStation 3 | 280800 | 308880 | 338493 | 29613 | 9.59% |
| Xbox 360 | 254600 | 280060 | 355921 | 75861 | 27.09% |
| PlayStation Portable | 243100 | 267410 | 265475 | -1935 | -0.72% |
See, your comment seems kind of inappropriate. Just 9.6% undertracked, it makes you look just like me, a fanboy. Exactly the same as the PS3 and on top of that the DS was WAY over tracked a lot last month and guess what... last month the PS3 was also under tracked.
Anyway the fact that the PS3 is under tracked while 360/Wii are over tracked is kind of common by now...
ioi, I just ask you to be "The Boss", treat NDP data like any other official source. Adjust VGC based on it, make your numbers reliable. It's pretty sad to see the 360 beating the PS3 when even freaking MS puts up press releases about getting their arses kicked, don't you think?
DMC4 numbers are also pretty 360 biased. ioi, have you considered that your data might be a little too 360/Wii biased? Maybe you can adjust your numbers based on this fact. I don't know enough about your sample data but I can see it isn't right...
One more thing, I admire your work. I bitch and whine but the only thing I wish for is for your data to be more accurate.
PS: If there is something wrong with my table just let me know and I will fix it, I'm watching a movie while doing this ;)
