Yep. Everyone just assumes NPD is more accurate because they get paid to put out the data and have bene doing it for so long. They also have a larger sample size which helps. The most important thing to note is that NPD estimates just like VGChartz. |
It's not an assumption, it's a fact, NPD collects around 60% of data while VGC does less than 10%. Sure, both uses the same method, hence why NPD is still the most respectable number out there.
VGC numbers aren't bad, but is it as credible as NPD's number? Well, not really.
It's like comparing 2 countries, just because one is better than another, it doesn't mean the other country just automatically sucks.
