From my observation, vg always ends up being pretty close to actual. Even if they aren't specifically accurate they are directionally correct.

VGChartz ends up being "close" quite often because they constantly adjust every time new figures are released; it's the clarity of hindsight. They have been off by quite large amounts in the past - the only reason their numbers look OK each time is because they go back and make adjustments to their "magic formula" for projection every time new numbers are released so that their data at least closely mimics reality
in the past.
Their data on current sales is 100% conjecture, and should be treated with about as much respect as Amazon rankings - which is to say, not very much.
