They acknowledge they don't have resources like professional tracking companies.
While true not exact when looking at less detail and more direction VGChartz seems on the ball. For example are sales increasing or decreasing? While the # may be off the actual trend seems to jive with other sources.
As for professional tracking companies even they are off. NPD used to only track brick and motar companies. Don't know if or how they fixed this yet but online sales of consoles and games, eg Amazon, at one time were not tracked.
