Isn't Media Create a professional tracking company? Famitsu is a only a game magazine, tracking sales isn't their primary business just an addition.

Famitsu is published by Enterbrain. Enterbrain had a professional Marketing Data Service.

Say that the Media Create data is the " real data " is simply asinine not only because MC and Enterbrain have the same accuracy but because extrapolated data are more or less accurate not " real " and "false ".
