The numbers aren't true though. VGChartz is merely a tracker and not good for determining hard sales. Usually bringing them up in sales talk outside this forum only serves as a distraction. I personally rather see a culmination of solid data, so I kind of don't blame him. This is why I miss NPD figures.

NPD numbers aren't true either though. NPD is merely a tracker as well.

Sure, they may have more coverage than VGC but they still don't have 100% coverage so they still aren't 100% accurate.

NPD are numbers from retailers and distributors with a margin of error.  VGChartz numbers are straight up guesses with less tangible data. There's a huge degree of difference.
