Like I said, I haven't seen any mention of those in any game related media, blogs, forums, gaming magazines, ect.  You sound a bit like a disgruntled former employee with this site with your repeated criticisms of it. You barely post in the COMG pre order thread.

Take a look at this regarding GfK: http://abload.de/img/npdmarch2015finalt3yqu.png

Here's an example of Microsoft citing NPD, GfK, and IDG for their figures:

There's an Aquamarine post in GAF somewhere where she explains how Sony gets its PS4 sold-through numbers which involves NPD, GfK, IHS, IDG, and Media Create/Famitsu. However, I don't even know where to look and I wish I bookmarked it for reference...

Thanks for posting that. I can see why some of those are for the most part not mentioned in video game related media/sources. Some of those only cover tiny bits of the market. I trust that vgchartz WW numbers are an estimate and that brett often uses the big 3, NPD and other sources to adjust the numbers.
