1. Unless it's been adjusted, it was 85k before.

2. Creamsugar is pretty damn reliable, has been for a couple of years now. This is a case of burying your head in the sand, all his leaks have been confirmed by Nintendo's own sales charts they release.

3. That has nothing to do with the charts being wrong. Look on the front page, VGC has NA average at 25k not 12k.

1. It seems I was thrown off by eyeofcore's thread's numbering. I assumed that we had 5 weeks so far, with NPD covering the first four. It looks like I may have been mistaken on that front. When I was working out the current number, I subtracted off the most recent week, which I guess means it was three weeks, not four.

2. It wasn't Creamsugar, it was Aquamarine.

3. Erm... "average"? NA? You know that NPD doesn't track NA, right? It tracks USA. And VGChartz has 86k, which makes it an average of about 21k, not 25k. But anyway, your response doesn't address either my point about uncertainty in both numbers nor the fact that NPD isn't 100% accurate. People like to claim "oh, it's practically 100% accurate", but there's no solid evidence to support the claim. We don't know NPD's methodology, and so we cannot know its actual accuracy.

2. Aqua seems pretty reliable too, enough for Cream to agree with her.

3. US is 90% of NA market, we're talking neglible numbers here, it doesn't really matter. (http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41672/USA/) 24k.

The fact NPD never adjusts, the big 3 use the numbers (and likely communicate shipments with them) and that they're a multimillion dollar company that track a lot of things at retailer should tell you it's the more reliable tracker, by far. I don't care to argue this though, the industry and majority accept NPD numbers, if you wanna hang on to VGC's because they paint a better picture, have at it.
