PS3>360 WW... since last year, I believe.

as for US number, it's too close to call, I'd wait for NPD's number.

I don't know why people have any great faith in NPD hardware lately.  The most recent shipment figures indicate that VGC was more accurate during the holiday season than NPD was.

NPD may have more data sources, but ioi clearly has a better grasp on market trends and data analysis.

NPD is the Michael Pachter of sales numbers. 

 lol @ startcraft

 ioi + VGC + 1% sample > professionals + NPD + 60% sample

VGChartz cannot be as accurate as NPD, it's simply impossible. What makes VGC good is that ioi keeps adjusting data giving us a good idea of overall sales. So any data from VGC over 3 months old is pretty accurate but the more recent data is not always the most accurate (pretty good but not as good as NPD).

 

Common sense makes me agree with Krik. Of course it's possible that vgchartz is closer to the real numbers sometimes but that has to be the exception not the rule.
