The Damning Truth: The percentage of LTD sales sold in the first week

Part of the problem with threads like this is that we have no idea how accurate the numbers are in the long run. For all we know most of games being counted as million sellers may not even be close to being million sellers. Once they drop out of the top 10 (or 40 in the UK) it's all guess work where even a few thousand over every week can result in huge differences in the hundreds of thousands over a year.

Yes and the great thing about having two HD console is that you can recognise that the games from them have similar sales patterns so if the numbers are correct they should be fairly similar and guess what? They most certainly are!

 

 

Having numbers that are similar means nothing since they both could be off or just one.  You talk about similar patterns but that doesn't hold true for every game.  If it did it would mean one console's games would always sell better than the other's and I can easily point out different games where that isn't the case.

I'll repeat what I've already said, we have no way of knowing if most of the numbers for non-charting games are accurate.
