| Diomedes1976 said: Yes ,its quite accurate .That doesnt change that having the real data some adjustements could be made .I mean ,its pretty clear the 360 never outsells the PS3 in Germany as the charts of the site show it to be more often than not . |
Yes, i am agree with you. It's not accurate for july, as we already saw:

An error of 116% for 360 is not accurate, and 40 % for the wii is not accurate.
Don't forget, that the numbers are always adjusted when officials numbers are known. So, it's obvious that two month or three month, next the last adjustement with official data, we have 10 % of error. You think, it's good, but no. It's not good because the numbers between the last adjustement and now, are very different. If the numbers have been never adjusted, i thought, we would have seen a very big difference between gfk numbers and vgc numbers. It's because of the regular adjustement that the numbers of vgc are accurate.
But, i ask me, what was the old numbers of Germany before the big adjustement of european numbers the last week. I'am certain, that before this adjustement (due to information form chart track for UK, so why german numbers change, mystery), the numbers were better that now.
And my last remark concern all europe, because french numbers have changed for exemple.
This week, the german numbers will be update with these new information., it's obvious, and i'm agree with you.
It's the true reason of what vgc numbers are accurate with a little margin for the next week, before the new adjustement....
