[QUOTE="mjarantilla"]And if you haven't looked at the sales reports lately NPD DOESN'T RELEASE THEIR NUMBERS FOR ANOTHER 1-2 WEEKS How the HELL can VGCharts.org know what NPD will release before NPD does? BTW, Japanese numbers: For the Wii, Media Create says 1,586,739 as of last week, while VGCharts says 1,750,000 For the PS3, Media Create says 656,968 as of last week, while VGCharts says 730,000 Once again, NOT CLOSE Stop using goddamned VGCharts.org.NotThat_basic
You know - it certainly would help your cause if you learned to read and research before you start typing:
1) They don't necessarily rely on NPD for their number - go to their site and read the 'What is VGCharts' message. What I'm suggesting to you, which you totally dismissed in your fanboy way, is that if NPD reported 1.5 million in the US through the end of January, isn't it quite possible that another 500k Wii's have been sold? Seeing as they can't seem to be found on store shelves, I would guess that means they are still selling at a pretty good clip. Try comparing apples to apples.
2) The don't rely soley on Media Create for their Japanese numbers - go to their site and read the 'What is VGCharts' message. Unlike the US where there is only one readily available tracking firm, Japan has several (Famitsu, Dengeki, Media Create) - I'm sure they use a combination of all three and then some other things as well in order to arrive at their numbers.
Thank you
VGcharts also has to add in Canada and the rest of the Americas and the MC numbers hes using are like 2 weeks old. I dont see why more people just accept the fact that they are pretty close on their numbers.Â
