VGC has been surprisingly accurate in the past few months on the software numbers. Hardware is another story but neither Wedbush or EEDAR are any better so VGC really isn't as bad as you might think. |
Are you talking actual numbers or rankings? Because they've been off pretty wildly the past few months.
From the numbers we were able to get.

Luigi's Mansion: 230k/140k (including digital)
Lego City 3DS: 110k/94k (inc. digital)
Pandora's Tower: 45k/20k
March They actually did pretty well for the biggest releases this month.
Bioshock: 942k/878k
Tomb Raider: 687k/640k
Gears: 602k/620k
God: 584k/633k

Crysis: 418k/260k
Fire Emblem: 262k/117k
Rising: 336k/200k<MGR<260k
They did fairly good in March, but in general it is a far cry from the old claims of being within 10%. I have to say though, I am very grateful to you for compiling all the info both from VGC and NPD in these threads.
