[QUOTE="heretrix"][QUOTE="WadeFan"]I love how in NPD threads all the lems are claiming ownage because they sold more, yet now that someone uses VGChartz stating something different, well then it's a bogus source, and none of it's true. Admit it, you are only complaining because something is showing that your system lost in a Halo, new console, kinect year to a console, that is more expensive and didn't have a great year game wise.

VG chartz is ALWAYS considered invalid no matter who brings it up. Anyone that says or thinks otherwise is lying.Anytime VG chartz is brought up it's pretty much a given that the response "LOL VG Chartz" is soon to follow.
Trust me, i am no way advocating the use of VGCHarts, however, i am saying that if you are going to claim own age over VG charts then allow for own age to be claimed over NPD numbers, and vice versa. It's annoying to go to this thread and see people saying that VGChartz are not usable, then they claim own age over NPD sales saying that x system is outselling y system.... Yes NPD are true valuable numbers, but onl in north America. That's a small look. Im not saying that we should trust VGChartz, im just saying that until the companies tell us, then we are seeing guesses or a small percent of the big picture, so it's foolish to try and claim ownage"Yes NPD are true valuable numbers,"
Yes, they are and that in itself makes them multitudes more valid than people just guessing. Again, no one in their right mind would think that NPD represents the ENTIRE worldwide market, what it does represent is a large percentage of one of the worlds largest markets, arguably THE worlds largest market (America). A market that this particular website is based in. So yeah when people start quoting mystical numbers from countries where there is no official method of reporting sales it deserves to be ridiculed.
I'd take an accurate sample of a market over estimates any time.
