Yeah I see it. I'm sure more news will be revealed shortly so, patience is a virtue here.

They mentioned in another thread that they're aware the latest update messed things up a bit, and that they'll get right on fixing it. If the fixes come as often as chart updates, I'm sure by Christmas things will look normal again.



 

Yeah sometimes they come like that and then at some point they get fixes.

 

Ps fixes now though

Germany totals are now fixed.



My friend is an idiot. He kept playing Tetris because I told him there was an endboss.

German charts is a mess. Just one example, Witcher 3 PS4 version had over 200.000 units sold through (physical and digital) until the end of june. And Germany is still very much physical games and not so much download.

Splatoon managed to get the 100K+ award until end of september, again including digital.

Minecraft PS4 looks heavily overtracked, just managed 100K+ in june, VGC has it at 157K.

PC sales are excluding digital most of the time though.

Some numbers look decent to good, others are probably really far of.
Don't remember Halo MCC getting the gold award and it's at 114K over here. Mario Kart 8 is at 349K over here and just got the platin award in may 2015.

No prob.

Don't know how big the VGC data pool actually is. Getting your numbers can get pretty difficult.
BIU awards are based on GfK data for physical copies and digital sales data from publishers if they want. That would be (incl. digitaler Verkäufe) so including digital sales.

That might not give an exact but at least a rough overview for awarded games.



Oh, they're fixed. And the charts are updated to the next week too.
Alright cool! :)
