IMO VGChartz software sales data is more accurate than NPD.

99% of the time Vgchartz is accurate(from what I've seen).

This may fall under that 1% or maybe there is an explanation.

For newer games (post-2007 release), VGC is typically pretty reliable. If they're off, it's usually by no more than 100k. The 370k discrepancy with SF4 is extremely unusual. I maintain that it was probably the result of VGC not counting the limited CEs, the sales posted being the sales of the regular edition units. We'll know for sure when we see the March #s.

You should probably stop then. The numbers from here are solid, but mistakes like this WILL happen. She ain't perfect.
