Forums - Sales Discussion - VG Chartz #'s are full of it?

For instance, you have Puzzle Quest NA DS listed at 112k? Yet the NPD numbers are much less than that.  So where are you coming up with these sales numbers?

Where's NPD coming up with their sales numbers?

 I'd like to see those numbers as well.



No offense, but are you seriously implying that VGChartz (a free, fan based website) is a more reputable source then NPD (a very expensive compilation, used by every single publisher in the industry)? I'm just curious how the numbers could be so drastically off.

Uhm a free fan based website is usually not as corrupt as your highly valued expensive industry publisher. Have you ever read those expensive magazines and their game reviews? They are all paid off by companies. So to answer your question, I would be more inclined to believe the source making little to no profit especially in todays world.

No, I just want to see where you are getting the npd numbers from. I'm not saying you're right or wrong. I just want to see the numbers.

Well unless you have access to them, you're obviously not going to see them.



No one is 100% correct with there sales. Though I think VG is pretty close. What does a fanbased web site have to do with anything?
