Yeah, the main problem that gonintendo and other sites around the internet have with VGChartz and NPD is that they don't really understand what the numbers mean. They're expecting very accurate reports, not ballpark estimates. When the two estimates don't agree, or the publisher releases shipped numbers, they think they've been lied to.
