This site may have been screwed by NDP playing games with their numbers. We will see, if Titanfall does no boost sales at all from FEB than we can easily deduce that NDP "adjusted" their numbers. VGC "adjust" numbers by simply changing past estimates when new data is released. NDP NEVER revises old data so how would they ensure they capture the correct LTD number so they are not too far over time? They simply add or subtract to the next month.
They have done this quite a bit actually. I have followed VGC for 8+ years and have percieved this trend. Ask other long time users, there have been months that VGC was way off under or over from NDP, VGC adjust, then recalabrates their formulas to correct errors, so then the next month when NDP "adjust" VGC is way off in the other direction.
Look for this pattern. VGC off one month over/under to NDP (badly, not talking 10-20% off, I am talking 30-60% here) then the next month they are off by nearly as much the other direction.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
