It's about time all the people thinking the vgc xb1 numbers aren't totally screwed get a huge reality check.

For comparison, 360 numbers for April from 2006 to 2013, from GAF

360:

April 2006 - 295K

April 2007 - 174K

April 2008 - 188K

April 2009 - 175K

April 2010 - 185K

April 2011 - 297K

April 2012 - 236K

April 2013 - 130K

So yeah, even though it had started well in comparison to 360, it was going off a cliff... so you can see why they were concerned.

VGC: XB1 - 217k, NPD - 115k

Terrible...

Over tracked by over 100k is unacceptable.

Forget about 100k, how about overtracked by almost 90%?!!

Goodness gracious. 115k? That's really not healthy.

I guess we can conclude, at the very least, that PS4 + PS3 > 186k, given that we didn't get any "Xbox family" PR.

Pretty decent numbers for 360 though.

Aside from that, seems Spider Man did better than we gave it credit for here too.

Also, that XB1 tracking is shocking. This is my second tracking moan in less than 6 hours!

It can't NPD is the most reliable source out there. What did I tell you in your thread? that Vgchartz has been overtracking the X1 and undertracking the PS4, hopefully now you will believe me.

There is still a price cut, and I don't believe the NPD numbers are right, it can't be that low, maybe 5-10k less per week, maybe, but this?

and people were upset when we called bullshit on the vgc numbers.

Or maybe, just maybe NPD got the numbers wrong, think about that, it's definitely possible.

Not more than a small margin of error. There's a reason Microsoft takes NPD for gospel.
