I think, after the last month, it's safe to say the PS4 is being undertracked and the X1 probably overtracked. I very much doubt the X1 is over the PS4, if it didn't manage to do it in March, it's not happening this month. This time around, I'm definitely taking these numbers with a gigantic grain of salt. 

I'm waiting to see all the people pretend to not realize you're talking about just America. I doubt it will happen to you.

So, most people here don't think VGC has accurate numbers? That's what I'm getting from people who think PS4 isn't high enough and X1 is too high. 

I think VGchartz European numbers a lot closer, since there's weekly data to kind of extrapolate what may be happening. Same for Japan. NA, though, yea there's no way the X1 isn't being overtracked, especially after March. I think NA data is completely inaccurate and honestly, just guesses based on some kind of simple math. Everyone expected X1 to do better last month, so they tracked it higher than PS4. My guess is these numbers were already done before NPD came out and showed otherwise. Going by this, VG should show PS4 higher for the next few weeks during April, and probably adjust this week to reflect the new expectation.
