For hardware yes, but unless there's over 55M software lieing around in shops, we're off like hell on software.

 

VGchartz will always be off on total software because it only tracks the top 200 each week.  That means none of the titles that are 201 and below get their numbers counted for that week.

It isn't a perfect system, but it is good enough.  It is the same way NDP does it.

 

No, that isn't how we do it.

If you look up the top 50 for each console, and add the totals toghether, that is lower than the total sold for most weeks. This means that VGC also gets an estimate for how much more has been sold. This one is far too low. (Or at least if my theory is correct)

 

See bolded.  This is where your differnce in the weekly numbers comes from.  If you add up the numbers from all 4 pages, you with get the total software sold for that week.  But that still doesn't include sales of software that sell less then #200 on the list.
