We will have a reasonable idea when NPD comes out, if we use the first 3 weeks of VGC data for a rough reference. Vgc has PS4 ahead by about 8k for the first 3 weeks of November. So if NPD give Sony November by 20k or more it means PS4 won BF most likely. If NPD goes PS4 November by less than 20k it's possible xb one edged PS4 on BF. If Xb one wins Nov then xb one for sure took BF.

 

The Amazon chart makes it highly improbable that xb one won the whole month. But there is a possibility that ps4 wins the month and BF wins BF.

How could we use VGCs data as a basis for proving how far off VGC was/wasn't?

Whichever company wins BF will mention it in their NPD PR (I hope). Also of course BF won BF!

Bloody typing on phones.

If you have one independant data point you can use statistical modelling to estimate the most likely data range for other data points. So, if we have the NPD totals for November then we can use the difference between the NPD totals and the VGC totals to assess the VGC weekly totals. I'm not using any statistical since we don;t have an NPD total to work with. But if the end result for NPD is relatively close we can make some pretty valid assumptions about BF.
