For comparison Vgchartz numbers

PS3 4,747,822 (-18%) 28,229,664
3DS 3,594,486 (-0%) 7,192,213
X360 2,932,781 (-29%) 22,815,302
Wii 1,717,972 (-58%) 32,469,410
PSV 1,276,041 (-58%) 1,276,041
DS 1,023,060 (-68%) 51,967,640
PSP 958,341 (-57%) 21,652,817
WiiU 452,259 (-57%) 452,259

Does vgchartz include countries that Nintendo doesn't.

Either way looks like Wii and 360 undertracked.

PS3 and Wii U overtracked

Or alternatively

Wii and 360 more undertracked, and vgchartz's "Europe" includes regions that Nintendo's doesn't.

VGC must include other countries because Nintendo has it down less YOY, yet also show it selling less than VGC.  If true, than PS3 may be fine, but the 360 is definitely under tracked .

Anyway, it looks like we found those missing 360 sales, as it was 300K-500K under tracked when looking at shipment numbers.

YOY

- VGC have the PS3 18% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 11% down.
- VGC have the 360 39% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 19% down.
- VGC have the WII 58% down in Europe... Nintendo had it only 49% down.

I think every console is undertracked in Europe if the 2011 VGC numbers are correted and already adjusted.

Black Ops 2(PS3) massively undertracked in USA. 

NPD has halo 4 at 3.2mil in November. And has it ahead of Far Cry 3 in december, which sold 1mil. Black Ops 2 is ahead of it. Even if we take into account bundles it must be undertracked by nearly 1mil.

Borderlands 2 seems very undertracked as well, Just Dance 3, Mass Effect 3, and Diablo 3(Physical Copies) seem overtracked.

Seems like...

Halo 4: 4,671,546
BLOPS II (PS3): 3,505,858

BLOPS II (PS3) under... or maybe a Halo 4 a little too... over 1 milion in Dec put Halo 4 at over 4.3 million... anyway BLOPS II is under for sure.

How many units sold NSMB 2 for DS?

If you look at last year's numbers, VGC definitely covers more countries than Nintendo. Most consoles are 100K-150K above Nintendo's numbers. The PS3 is 700K above Nintendo's numbers.  Oddly enough, it seems the PSP is still undertracked for 2011 by 100K or so.  So, you could be right that all may be undertracked, including PS3. Though, we'll have to wait for Sony's results before we can know for sure.
