So you don't have actual proof that this generations numbers have been changed. Can you atleast prove that at some point npd have gone back and changed any of their numbers instead of just saying 'well i heard this'?
Like i posted above it's not millions of wii's it's 750,000~ and yet again your answer to the second point is you don't know and are just guessing.

So can you demonstrate that NPD doesn't follow the practice of adjusting their numbers as more accurate data comes in, which is common for all tracking firms accross all industries?
If they don't I wonder why anyone would actually pay to see their numbers ... over time the inconsistency and errors in their dataset would be (fairly) massive, their ability to accurately estimate monthly sales numbers would be reduced, and their forecasts would be off by millions of units. This is why you commonly see news releases when the government adjusts the numbers for jobs and inflation as more data comes in. Personally, if I was a CEO and was dealing with a tracking company that did not even attempt to have the most accurate and up-to-date numbers on a monthly basis I wouldn't pay the thousands of dollars to see their report.

So you don't have any proof you're just guessing. And if any adjustments did take place you have no idea what they were and are just guessing again.

So you don't have any proof that NPD didn't ajust the numbers, and you're just guessing that they have abandoned standard practices in order to stand besides their (rapidly) useless numbers ...
Realisticly, would you spend money on numbers that after 18 months of a systems life were already off by (over) 10%?

So you don't have any proof then and are just guessing, sorry i asked the question and you have to come up with the proof. Who says npd's numbers are off, again you have no conclusive proof.
