Lol, well our data isn't extrapolated from ChartTrack and we got to 7 million as well so I'm not sure where Pachter is coming from on this one...

But I assume the amount of sources for it is still pretty limited (compared to normal weekly sales numbers), so the margin of error might still be pretty big as well?

Absolutely, and I pointed out that the 7 million figure should be considered +-10% but my point is that our Americas data comes from our normal sources (and ties in well with our preorder figures) and our data for major European countries such as UK, France, Germany is of course limited but still enough to extrapolate and get some reasonably accurate figures from.

My point was that our data was arrived at independently (and before anyone else) and also shows a figure of around 7 million as well.

Hum Patcher says "I say", you reply "our sources". Who are that sources ?
