Aren't tracked at all - Yes. Can't add these sales in yet but should be able to in the future.

Tracked in the wrong place - Not sure what you mean. Got an example?

Not tracked in x region - This is probably because we don't have sufficient data for the missing region to come up with an estimate. If official data has been released for that region, or for an overall total, then we may be able to make an estimate for the region. If that game has patchy data for the regions we have tracked then I would probably be inclined to simply add the total and remove the weekly data for these games.

Great, thanks.  Maybe consider making a separate thread for this so this one keeps on track for just official data?  (Or I will make it quite happily).

Re. Tracked in the wrong place, the two that come to mind are - FIFA 13 Vita sales on NA are tracked on the previous year's game for some reason.  Second one is Jak Collection (Vita) was tracked on the PS3 version rather than the Vita version (since the week the Vita version released, the PS3 version charted again).  I'm sure there's more since I'm only really aware of Vita sales.

 

Since you've put it in the OP, I'll provide the proof:

FIFA on Vita: 0 sales in NA for FIFA 13.  If you compare the sales of FIFA Soccer on Vita to the other FIFA games, it's 2 x as much, suggesting it's been tracked in the wrong place.  FIFA Soccer showing up at #47 in the USA weekly the week of release backs this up.

Jak Collection on Vita: Game released on June 18th, game charted for PS3 in USA on week ending 22nd June, but it didn't chart the week before in the top 75 for PS3.  Seems like the Vita version is tracked on PS3.
