Im more willing to trust a professional tracking site than a person I have never heard of posting on the forum of a site which I personally dont really trust.
Of course the guy could still be and quite possibly is telling the truth as well, but it doesnt really refute NPD numbers as those are in the millions, these are in the hundreds.

What are you trying to say? Your not going to discredit NPD's numbers by simply claiming they're bias.
Wait, so the 360 is outselling the Wii. I knew it, MS was wrong when they said they sold/shipped 11.6 million. And Nintendo Was grossly exagerrating when they said it sold/shipped 9 million in less than half the time.
The NPD or VGChartz numbers are totally wrong, they are slightly below official shipments. Any idiot that works at a Comp USA can tell that the 360 is outselling Wii 2 to 1 in my county.
(edit: sarcasm by the way.)
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
Because an anonymous poster who got an anonymous job at an anonymous retailer lends so much credibility.
It's called anecdotal evidence for a reason you know.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
his numbers might be true for that store but npd numbers are 100000...% more reliable for the sales of the whole country. look at the ps3 first week after the price cut, it was no.1 on amazon for pretty much the whole week but still sold about 30,000 (cant remember the exact numbers) less consoles that week than the wii.

I'm goiong to guess that he works at a Best buy, it would make more sense that they would sell more 360's, they are an electronics store, the wii would sell more at stores like Toys ''R" us and wal-mart. I know that where i live in Canada Toys R us is the only store that ever has the wii in its ad's, where store slike Future shop(best buy) will have the 360/PS3 ads and great deals with pack in games.
But the canadian stores are still selling the 360 for $500 with 4 games, while the US has it for $400 plus whatever games you get, when the price drop hits the US for $50 we might get $100+ drop in price and sales in Canada might be higher then the wii for that week or month.

I noticed this post on GAF. ioi you should contact him to use as a source if possible. Unless he already is. >> Well, I recently got a job at a major retailer, supposedly one of the largest in the USA for videogames sales, although I will neglect to mention which one.
But look at his numbers:
PS3 163 Wii 627 360 1269
Hmm everytime we get limited numbers 360 beats Wii..but everytime we get NPD numbers Wii wins 2-1..but I'll shutup about that as it gets me in trouble LOL.

I take it you didn't finish reading his post.
"If the other stores in my district resemble mine for this week, I believe Wii will surpass the 360 this week in sales. This is due to the 11 Wii's we have already gotten in stock this week, a big improvement, and only the 4 360's total and 5 PS3s we have gotten."
Notice the following week they received more Wii's than X360's. Why would you claim any bias based on only part of the numbers?
