I can't believe there is people that actually prefer monthly figures. Weekly is way better, don't you want to know figures more often? Hello? I'm thrilled by this change. Granted there is the concern of accuracy, I'm sure like most people on this site I don't own the company selling these games, so exact figures are not nessecary to anything I do, ballpark figures are just fine. For example in Japan the number for last week was around 60,000 for the Wii. If it was anywhere between 50-70,000 I would have been content, refering to its accuracy. Anywhere in that range gives me about the same impression of the system sales there, and that's alot of leeway. I'm sure the percentages that these sales are off by are smaller. Now I know these numbers add up and can change a picture drastically if a consistent mistake is made in the same direction for a long duration. But I'm sure the numbers will be corrected as they have time to analyze more data from more sources over time. So really folks whats the big deal?

 My only problem is there is no option to search for a particular titles' sales in America, as there is in Japan's data. it's fustrating to look up the release month and then track every months of it's sales to get a total, I'd much rather have a search option. And I hope there is soon more then 50 titles addressed for American sales, Japan has like what...200? So it would be nice to at least get 100. And I'd love to get any chart at all for Europe. Alright I'll stop now, I love the site and consider this a positive development in the long run.

 Well as long as VGchartz is within 3-5% accuracy for its data then I would consider it authoritative
