yep. looking forward to seeing VGChartz validated once again over NPD.

I see all three in black (Gaming only), Nintendo>Sony>MS.

Nintendo is a customer of NPD so it's hard to imagine Nintendo's financial reports validating anyone over them. Basically Nintendo knows how much of everything was sold to retailers and relies on NPD's numbers for sold to customers (North America obviously). At least that's my understanding of it.

 However shipment details over a long period (such as a quarter) indicate consumer sales to quite a large degree of accuracy and we know that the numbers are 100% correct. Basically with the information you can get from them they give a better indication of sales to consumers over a long period of time than tracking such as VGC or NPD.

Or at least I think thats how it works.

 

On Topic: Sony & MS - $100M profit.

Ninty - Ridiculous profit.
