VGChartz is getting info from stores, and stores are not going to report that they have broken the publisher's trust and admit that they have broken the release date. 2. I believe ioi will, but this is guesswork. If he didn't track the sales, he would have the wrong sales for the official release, as that would increase several weeks of sales. 3. I believe the stores report in when they sell it, so I can't see the problem here. 4. Probably week ending 24th October 2008. |
1) They may not have to admit it...they can just add the sales into their first week. If they get 30 copies and only have 5 left they have to account for it somehow. The numbers should make it in just fine.
2) Again I don't see why not, but I'm not intimate with the data collection process either.
3) Stores report in at regular intervals to my understanding, see point 1.
4) The first set of numbers should be up for that week, but it may very well include the full tally.
Also, any idea how widespread this is? If it doesn't break into at least 5 figures its not ever going to be noticeable to us anyways.
