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...

No point discussing stuff with this aeolus guy.

If he's never heard of GfK before then no wonder he's defending VGChartz numbers so much.

At least in his last post he has the sense to admit that Brett guesses his numbers on here and then adjusts them when the big 3, NPD, GfK & others release their numbers publicly/through leaks and correct him.

 

As I said before, some of the numbers on this site are accurate thanks to publicly available / leaked data. A lot of the numbers of this site are just wrong, hilariously so. 

I'm not defending the accuracy of vgchartz numbers. The majority of the regular forum goers understands the numbers here are estimates of worldwide video game sales and that gives us plenty to converse/debate about but I'm against your constant knocking of the site and it's estimates. You're adding nothing of value to discussion by doing that.
