Obviously you don't know too much about how the website works.

Data comes in, and weekly numbers are generated. More data for past time periods come in, and the data is refined. This causes previous weeks to go up/down depending on the additional data for past weeks (financial results for example could show VGChartz is overtracking).

The grand total reflects the best estimate (since all the numbers are estimates) of total sales up to the latest weeks results.

This website's only bias is reality.

 

It would have been so much more awesome if you had just said. "Obviously you don't know too much about how the website works - We get our numbers through magic".

while what you say is true, it would be rude to a new member. Now since you seem to have been a diligent lurker before you started posting, if you start a thread like this I'll call you an idiot and lock it

 

Are you trying to tempt me into doing that? And you wouldn't even give me a magic explanation 

"A diligent lurker", eh? *Googles to check for insults*

One other thing, isn't it a bit odd that the OP has a welcome from before he posted anything? It would be understandable if the "welcomer" had greeted several, but he only greeted this profile.

 



When I write Fact: in one part of the post, and opinion: (or a similar word), it's not because I can then say "my opinion can't be wrong". It is to inform what part is pure facts, and which part I try to draw a conclusion in.
