In Japan, it is said MC is much more reliable than Famitsu.
Some people think the differences between MC and Famitsu are considerd as the problems of parent population of Famitsu. Their consistent is below.
In Famitsu, The numbers of core games tend to become lerger and them of intellectual training tend to become smaller. So, this shows some collaborators of Famitsu Charts have the bias of sales.
As the more radical consistent, a few people consist the exist of intentional manipulation by Famitsu.
In Japan, it is known that Famitsu is at outs with Nintendo after the Judgment about Tearing Saga. Indeed, Famitsu tend to get behind about the infos of Nintendo games. So, they thinks it is fatal for Famitsu Nintendo wins and Famitsu makes a intentional manipulation.
Additionally, retailers cover ratio is 57%(Official data) for MC and much lower than MC(estimate) for Famitsu. So I think it is simply the problems on statistics.
