360 Numbers don't add up!

I think the claim that vgcharts is more accurate than the NPD might now be my all time favorite! It's getting to the point where I'm now starting to think you guys are just screwing with me and you don't really believe what you're saying. How can anybody sane believe some of this stuff? I cannot believe this thread is still going... ...I'll give you credit for persistance. ...FYI - I'm pretty sure that guy meant the Japanese sales charts are more accurate than NPD - and I'm also pretty sure that's a fair assessment. Now apologize!!

Doh! You are so correct. I indeed misread that. Score one for yourself! It's now 114 for me, 1 for you - for those keeping score at home! And this thread is still going on because I am right! If it was the off the wall, thoughtless, and without some merit it would not have lasted this long. However, I think we're just about at the end of the discussion. Just about everybody now agrees that vgcharts is too low on the 360 number (although we differ on the exact amount), and we've just come to agree that it's just horribly out of date, which explains the big difference!
