Stabs in the dark? That's simply false. These are estimates based on a lot of data, not stabs in the dark.


What data do they get for Europe? How on earth did they overestimate 360 sales in German by 50% if they have such strong data?


I don't really give a shit how. It doesn't matter. It's not going to be exact. Mistakes will be made. It's an estimate, not a sales count. It's the best we have until stuff like that comes out that gives a better idea, and while I recall the source you're talking about, I'm not sure I trust it, as I don't know it. How do you know it's as trustable as NPD? Right now, VGChartz WW totals are pretty close to what Microsoft is claiming, so if those consoles didn't go to Germany, they went somewhere. Now if you just want to mock the concept of estimating sales, you don't belong on this site, because that's literally all this site is.
