This anti NPD movement is kinda funny. I absloutely love VGC, but I wouldn't think for a second that the NPD is less accurate than VGC.

I do applaud ioi and he fervent hard work. What he does truly is a wonder.

On topic: Good for ps3. Third parties are getting what they wanted. Bigger install base for the ps3.

I don't think anyone is. I think they are saying that NPD without the adjustments is less accurate then VGchartz.

Since, you know... you don't see their adjustments.

For example the last two times the shipping numbers came out it was obvious they were pretty far off, and therefore had to adjust their numbers, yet we haven't seen those adjustments.

This is already the third time i've explained it, it'd be nice if someone actually read the reason why.

Well that and in the world of statistics, once you get somewhere around a 1% data sample, your formula is way more important then the amount of the data you get. (unless you get 99% of the data or something.)
