I can update the opening post when it comes in but it may take me a little while as I try to get the article on NPD up immediately.

Why VGC looks at the NPD report if they don't taking in account the results of NPD ?

i mean in december, VGC has underestimated the ps3 numbers at a large scale (more than 100.000 ) and after the npd release don't change the numbers in order to match NPD.

Strange behavior.

We're not NPD. The "large scale" you cite for PS3 in Dec amounts to ~100k/1350k or whatever - and thats like a 6% difference. It only looks onus because of the volume for the month.

I predict 360 over PS3 by 10k to 20k. (statistical tie! )

Wii lower that VGC estimates because of supply problems.

MW2, NSMBW higher than VGC estimates.

NPD = USA

VGC = The Americas.

- Xbox on spot.
- PS3 undetracked.
