@deftangel, The source article title : "PS3 hardware sales rise 30% following price cut"
Do you really want me to change the title to include "estimates" word ? That could be taken as an insult / attack against VGC.
"Everyone" knows that VGC's first week # are estimate. It happened with MGS4, Wii Fit, Halo 3 and many other games. Even some of their LTD are estimates. This does not mean that I must always add the "estimate" word in every reference to VGC.
VGC claimed that they have access to retailer data, even though it is not as comprehensive as NPD's. Therefore, the "estimate" is not 100% estimate, like my own estimate or your estimate. Whether VGC's estimate based on data's from small percentage of retailer will result in better "estimate" than yours or mine is the reason why simExchange is interesting. If VGC's are always better, then there is no need for simExchange and it's player.
