Diomedes, you seriously should post links to the things you said. I'm not saying you're lying, but it's very easy to make mistakes when doing comparisons between claims in news articles and vgchartz sales figures.
For example, you could be comparing two numbers which are not for the same time frame. Shipped-to-retailers and sold-to-consumers also explains some other things (and there are cases where it's not specified what a number is for, such as the "100k" for France one).
There are probably other pitfalls which could explain some of the comparisons you made (even if you're right in some of them).
If there are indeed some provable mistakes in the data, I'm sure ioi will correct it. He has done so more than once.
