Forums - Sales - Overtracked and undertracked games this gen! (Suggestions)

dsage01 on 11 December 2011

Okay so this is how this works. If you find games that are over and undertracked (only this gen) please list it all here and include the source and some proof it is undertracked or overtracked. This is just a thread to 

 

Possibly undertracked:

Call of Duty MW3: NPD-9 million. VGC: under 8 million (first month)

Madden NFL 12: ... the whole series is undertracked according to NPD and Pal charts don't have to say much

NBA 2K12: It's in the same situation as the Madden series.

God of War 3: NPD has it 1.1 million first month just in the U.S.A. According to VGC it is barley above 800k in the same region

 

Overtracked: 

Will updtate later. 

Give me your thoughts on what is overtracked and undertracked please. And include proof.

No offence OP, but its going to take a lot more than my cousin and family friend to convince this site to higher Uncharted 3 numbers and besides you have a long discrediting VGChartz numbers, so why should anyone take you seriously?

who cares if npd numbers are different. This is vgchartz. If they get adjusted then they will, but until then whats the point.

I guess the site undertracked/overtracked the games here in countries not tracked... most part in Europe, Asia and Mid-East (a little in LA too).

Japan and US are so far the most accurate regions in VGC... just some games seems under/over sometimes.

I at least gave proof for pretty much everything I said. Including the article that it sold double UC2'S FW in its FW. I dont know how much the bundle sold in the U.S.A. That figure I gave previously was just an estimate. And I don't think I have a bad credibility when it comes to sales. Its only Yahoo (he has been banned a countless amount of times) and enorgagare (can't remember there exact user names) but they have prooved to be PS3 haters especially Yahoo. And I have evindence for everything I say. I don't think your previous statement you made had an evidence or citations to it so it's funny how you say I have discrediting on VGC numbers...

But sadly it's really hard to get really accurate sales in Europe. We have NPD as a resource for the U.S.A. and Chart Track for the U.K. and other countries in Europe so I guess we can only use that as our resources.

I guess most games are accurate now in US.

Uncharted 3
Skyrim
Batman
etc

2011:

Possibly undertracked:

Call of Duty MW3: NPD-9 million. VGC: under 8 million (first month)

Uncharted 3: Sold twice as much in its First week than Uncharted 2 according to Sony's article. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-12-05-uncharted-series-sells-13-million-copies. NPD has Uncharted 3 700k without bundles. VGC has Uncharted 3 at 710k with bundles. I doubt Uncharted 3 bundles sold alomst nothing. In big retailers in the U.S.A. where my cousin and family friend work Uncharted 3 bundles sold really well. Especially on Black Friday.

Batman Arkam city: We have this at 370k. NPD has it at 600k.

Zelda Skyward Sword: Sold 600-625k according to NPD in its First Week. VGC has it at around 530k first week in the U.S.A.We are of by 100k.

Madden NFL 12: ... the whole series is undertracked according to NPD and Pal charts don't have to say much

NBA 2K12: It's in the same situation as the Madden series.

Overtracked: 

AC Revelations: According to VGC it sold 1.4 million on the 360 alone while NPD has both versions at 1.26 million.

Will updtate later.

They made some adjustments

AC revelation(PS3/360) sales for november are now 1.38mil for the npd period. NPD 1.26mil. Close enough

Halo Anniversary adjusted down to 600k for npd period so now it correctly shouldn't appear in the top 10.

Uncharted 3 adjusted up to 792k for the npd period. 710k from npd and 82k from bundles I'm assuming.

Batman Arkham City hard to tell because the npd tracking period is october 25th to november 25th I believe and so one of our weeks is split in that
