Everytime one of the real companies that releases European Sales data, like ChartTrack, I have gone and compared it to VGChartz numbers. The one that stands out in particular was when they released the data for total number of PS3s in Europe about 8 or 9 months ago, and the VGChartz were off by almost 160% (too high), and when ChartTrack released sales data on the 360 and VGChartz was 50% too low.
There are not regular releases for sales data in Europe, so I have no idea where people on your forum are getting their data, but when the reputable comapnies release their data, VGChartz is always way off. Worse than with MediaCreate or NPD numbers.
