Aielyn said: You need to be able to account for about 560k. Total so far is maybe 130k. Considering that the US number from NPD is 3.76 million to end of July, and VGChartz had it at 3.87 million, that's 110k overtrack, so between them, you're up just 20k. You still need to explain 540k. |
He claims to be accurate with the trackers in Europe... he is not... and there are a lot of others countries than these four I listed... a better example:
Germany and France are undertracked right now ~40k... that is ~7% of the sales in these places... so apply the same for Europe:
3.45m + 7% = 3.7m
That just talking about Europe... and that means small countries are only 5-10k undertracked... you already have 250k under just in VGC Europe (that is not all Europe).
Now think about PS4 in over 100 countries right now... some will be overtracked like US but mostly countries that VGC don't have any data could be ~5% undertracked like Germany/France or others countries I showed... you will get the 600k under fast.
VGC is wrong and need to be fix.
The data showed today make the discussing about sales in the forum pointless because you knows PS4 numbers are not accurate... the view outside the forum is even worst.
That what makes VGC have a bad reputation with numbers.
BTW. Remove the 100k overtracked in US and add 7% for the others places and you will have the 10 million while only adding 5-10k in most countries... VGC is already not accurate with any tracker in the world except Japan... so what the big deal.
