Thank you for the new adjustments. 

Around how many adjustments will you have to do in total?

On Tuesday you put up the numbers of UK and Germany on the same day. Was this by accident or are you planing to occasionally speed up the software numbers to reduce the backlog?

Several thousand, not including future releases of course.

I hope to yes, though I can't promise more than the ~1 chart a day I've been doing, just because the adjustments and the work on the new database are both taking up a lot of my time. GotY Awards season is also fast approaching and that eats up hours at a surprising rate too.

Wouldn't you want to devolve some of the tasks to another member to relieve you of the extra work? You could teach someone you trust to assist in putting up software numbers while you keep doing your adjustments.

If you averagely do at least one a day you will catch up in the long run:

Day 1 Pre Order USA

Day 2 US

Day 3 UK

Day 4 Germany

Day 5 France/Europe

Day 6 Japan/World

Day 7 Pre Order USA

Wow, I wasn't expecting No Man's Sky to have been undertracked.

Did you also made an adjustment of some other Switch games? For instance 1-2-Switch was last week around 30000 units short of being over a million. According to the weekly global charts it did less than 35000 units. Now it is standing at 1025000 units. Did it got an adjustment of around 20000 or is there a mistake?

Also Symbio63 mentioned in his last post of his thread that something seem to be odd about the numbers of Switch games:

It seems Zelda BOTW has been adjusted up, too!



Symbios63 on 14 December 2017

Yeah, Zelda was at 4.07M last week and is now at 4.27M. Weekly global sales indicates less than 100k though...

I have another question about game LTD numbers for switch games. Those can generally be found here : http://www.vgchartz.com/platform/83/nintendo-switch/

There is one released game that is not in the database : -Romance of the Three Kingdoms 13
There is one released game that is in the database but with no numbers : -Soldam Drop, Connect, Erase

I can totally understand that some minor games like those can be overlooked but my question is about games that do have numbers in their individual page but which do not appear in the switch LTD page.

Here is a list : - Syberia, - Tiny Barbarian DX, - Dragon Quest X All in one Package, - Winning Post 8 2017, - Just Dance 2018, - Champion Jockey Special, - Poi, - 88 Heroes 98 Heroes Edition.

Their global sales can be found on their individual game page but they do not appear right under the game name here as they should (and this is probably linked to the fact the sales do not appear in the switch LTD page)

Question is : Is it a known bug ? Is it easily fixable ?

Hmm. No I was not aware of this, and I don't know what's causing it either. Probably something to do with the site's coding. If those totals still aren't showing once the game and sales databases have been re-launched by Talon then I'll get him to look into it for us.

Ok thanks a lot.

As those games are tracked, it would be a waste not to have them on best selling lists (even if outside of Just Dance 2018, most of those will be very low sellers).
