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.

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

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.
