Picking out 3-4 games (particularly PC versions) and then stating random numbers with no source as proof of error could be done with any tracking service.

The numbers are valve's retail shipments as of about a year ago.

The point still stands though, I bet I could pick a good number of games that have shipment figures released that bear no correlation with NPD/GfK/Chart-Track/Media Create/Famitsu/Dengeki numbers at all.... I'm not going to because it would take an extensive amount of research to prove a useless point. (and that is actually a major point of this website... you don't have to run around adding up figures from various trackers worldwide)

This is retail sales. It would be much more if include Steam sales.
