I don't mind the inaccuracy inherint in weekly numbers (the loss of a top 200 is more annoying, but I'm patient). Even if the sales are within 20% (or say +- 200k overall) it still gives you a fairly accurate read of how games and systems are doing. Zelda:TP sold between 1.4 and 2 million units (or 1.5 and 1.9 million), that still tells you that it's way more successful than Rayman's 400-600k (300-700k). Even though over time the error theoretically grows, so long as overall numbers are corrected when more reliable info is released it's not a major problem. Whatever the error it sure beats having to rely on Microsoft claims that the 360 "sold" 10.4 million by jan 1, 07. Regardless if monthly numbers are much more accurate it still doesn't beat having reasonable guesstimates every week.
