The very point is that NPD also has a substantial margin of error (though I would never argue this margin is as big as VGC's).
You get what you pay for. Ultimately ioi has to rely on a small percentage of retailers to produce weekly numbers (by waiting, NPD can of course wait for firmer numbers from a wider range of suppliers).
Eventually we'll get region by region shipping approximations and get a better idea of what is really going down in NA. Until then, so much complaining about a set of numbers never claimed to be 100% and provided entirely for free!

all that doesnt mean we cant point out when the numbers logically seem wrong or when we got more concrete data that shows its wrong.

No it doesn't, and I am not telling you you 'can't' do anything.
I am just saying there seems to be an inordinate amount of whining in this thread (not talking about you) relative to what used to be a large amount of discussing the numbers and accepting them for what they are.
