Recent VGC data is ALWAYS off...that's the point behind it. Until leaks come out, VGC data is purely estimates, not based on any kind of fact.

Many research companies perform similar services estimating different types of data...like how well mobile games sold.

Well yeah, i don't said "always off" because there are some thimes where VGC guess are something close to actual numbers, but even then, it's just a random guess, like may be right or wrong but is a guess / estimate and nothing more.

If i'm not wrong, VGC only track a bit more than 0% of USA market?

VGChartz directly tracks / samples 2-3% of the USA retail market and estimates the other 97-98%.

In comparison, NPD directly tracks 95% of the USA retail market and estimates the other 5%.
