1. Back to the topic at hand, I think it's rather ridiculous to use NPD mish moshed figures to calcluate LTD Americas sales for the Wii when we have Nintendo's own shipment figures.

2. We all know that the inventory levels for the Americas on the Wii is very, very low. So it's logical that Nintendo's shipment numbers will be very close to the consumer numbers in the Americas.

So what does that leave us? Well you can believe the estimated NPD mishmosh presented above. Or you can believe VGC which is very close to Nintendo's shipment numbers.

It's you're choice. I'll side on precise data rather than an amalgam of estimates.

I'm not saying NPD is wrong. I'm saying the way people are using NPD to calculate LTD sales for the Americas is wrong.

 

1. Could you post conclusive proof that since the start of this console generation npd have infact gone back and changed their numbers.

2. Can you post conclusive proof that in south america the wii's inventory levels are low. Also can you post some proof of how many wii's are in transit at any one time in the america's.
