It was probably in the ballpark, but still too low. I don't know why Nintendo use AC Nielsen, Microsoft and Sony both use GfK, and ADESE, the Spanish leisure software association use GfK too. Basically everyone in Spain uses GfK except for Nintendo.
My guess is Nintendo feel GfK undertrack their products, so supply AC Nielsen with sales data for their products, and have them estimate Microsoft's and Sony's. If that's the case then AC Nielsen data for Nintendo's products might be quite accurate, but I'd take their data on Microsoft and Sony with a pinch of salt.
