Forums - Sales - VGC Adjustments needed post June NPD Leak

Based on Leak from NPD July which shows consoles LTD, some adjustments are needed to VGC Numbers:

 

Here are VGC Number YTD:

 

PlatformTotal
XOne 3,050,428
PS4 3,602,619
3DS 12,587,112
WiiU 2,632,523
X360 43,442,318
PS3 26,195,456
Wii 41,549,247
PSP 19,807,692
  PSV 1,813,289

 

 

Wii undertracked by around 250K

360 overtracked by around 2M

Xone overtracked by 100K

PS3 overtracked by around 300K

Vita Undertracked by 90K

WiiU overtracked by 130k

3DS overtracked by 290k

Considering the margin or error, VGC is quite spot on.

It looks to be all within 5%.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Indeed, the differences are small except for X360 (2 Million over tracked), even if the percentage is within 5%.

Wii undertracked by around 250K = 0.5%

360 overtracked by around 2M = 4.8%

Xone overtracked by 100K = 3.2%

PS3 overtracked by around 300K = 1%

Vita Undertracked by 90K = 4.7%

WiiU overtracked by 130k = 5%

3DS overtracked by 290k  = 2%

I guess you could argue that 360, Vita and Wii U are out by more than they should be for LTD slaes. But everyting else is pretty tight with NPD.

Yes, VGC has shown great reliability over long periods. Let's not forget thst today's numbers have already been adjusted multiple times over the years, giving it the aura of being more precise than it actually is, but overall a commendable accuracy by ioi.

This data should help him be more precise in future calculations.

Good job, VGC

Not bad margins, but that's some big adjustments for the home consoles.
Freaking spot on with the PS4.



So is it this time that PS3 has officially outsold XB360? =D



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

Of course the Vita and the Wii are the only undertracked systems....

I didn't expect that the 360 still hasn't outsold the Wii. Maybe on Black Friday.



Even so, I don't think the numbers are too far off.
