I'm wondering how they actually calculate the numbers, because from what I've seen for the PS4 it doesn't add up.

Like the time when VGchartz said 4.1 million for PS4 when Sony said 4.2 million some days after for the end of December ? I mean they were pretty accurate.

The only complain I have seen is that in France, PS4's numbers were higher than the vgchartz's estimate. So they fixed that.

No when sony said 4.2 million VGchartz had PS4 at 3.9 million, then they adjusted it up to 4.1million. Thats still very accurate though so I'm sure VGC is still tracking the PS4 well.

Thanks for the fixing thing on my post.



What I meant is for NA its 64400 and EU its 61300 but total is 146409, so wondering where the rest of them come from. Guess there is sale outside of NA and EU to add to the total that we don't see...

Those sells you don't see are the ''rest of the world'' sales.



Yeah, makes sense to me now, thanks. :)

Wii in the same week did 251,288 with Japan.

169k without Japan.

PS4 and Wii are neck a neck the weekly sales... PS4 will hold a strong launch so the lifetime are huge.

This comparision deservers a graph and own thread.

You speak as if japanese numbers will make a big difference for ps4. pre orders disagree.

They're horrible. Everything points to the PS4 selling worse than XBOX ONE over there. I guess Japanese people only like Nintendo.
