I don't know how many times posters on Joystiq, Kotaku, etc have referenced VGC and then get lambasted for using that "joke of a site" as a source......and yet, these numbers are nearly spot on.
In Indiana terms, we call that "getting shitted on" when you so passionately choose to NOT believe simply to disagree, only to find out that you're wrong
Hey, nice work there, Krik! Thanks for putting it together! =)
The BuShA owns all!
Nice job. Really shows VGC is not full of ish.
Someone post this info on NeoGAF! 
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
@sinha,
Not likely, apparently it takes them months to activate an account so I doubt many folks want to get themselves banned for posting facts abouts VGC...its forbidden after all.

Sorry, I thought a laughing face was the universally recognized symbol for "I am joking"...

NPD's marketshare for Wii is really high or is vgchartz's just too low?

Ok, that's what I thought, but it seemed odd. I'm assuming he's using the numbers from January 1st, till March 31, since it says Q1 (2008). |
Thanks for letting me know about the "copy and paste" error. I edited the inital post now.

But don't you know? According to them its only because ioi updates his numbers after the fact!!! /sarcasm Either way their argument makes no sense. In one breath they will tell you that everything is worthless and in the next they will say "They're only as close as they are because they copy the 'professional' numbers.".
@Krik, I didn't do a thorough background on your data or anything but everything looks to be in pretty good order. Good work, especially including the US only numbers so that it was unambigous that everything was taken into account. |
The reason I didn't do a thorough background on my data is because it's not my data. The data is straight from NPD reports and VGC's hwtable query

VGChartz claims more PS3 and 360 sales than NPD. This means NPD is going to have a higher market share for the Wii.
