I dont think you can. People have made their minds up, and they either accept or doubt these numbers. Look at nexgenwars. There are people who accept that data, and their are others, like myself, who will always doubt them. And, because this is the internet, people will argue why either one is correct/incorrect.

They are estimates. Some people will never believe this information because it is free. "Its too good to be true". Those are they people that wait for NPD and others to report figures. Their is no convincing them.

Hell, for all I know, ioi could be getting all of this info from 3 stores per country, and multiplying figures to makie up the rest. I am sure many think that way. However, there is simply too much work put into this site, unlike nexgenwars for example, to not doubt the numbers.

Weekly hardware sales figures. 200 software titles listed by sales each week in Japan and NA. I know that if I was going to make up numbers, I wouldnt be running such a big site, which only keeps getting bigger.

Hats of to ioi.
