Famitsu obviously they have more markets reporting since they have a bigger number.


In otherwords... you have exactly zero clue how Ioi, MC, Famitsu or NPD do anything they do...

They get the same reports they get every month Leo-J. 


Well you dont get what I was saying(this goes for fishy joe as well)

Famitsu wont put false numbers. t

 

Neither would Medicreate.  They estimate based off about 60% media coverage each... therefore there is a decent chance they are going to be be off in their projections... every once in a while WAY off.

There is no way to tell who is right until the hardware shipment numbers are released every quarter.  Most people are just making fun of Diomedes because he likes to make up a Phantom 90% number and always claims that MC is more accurate when the reality is that MC gets more of their numbers from stores that specialize in VG sales. (AKA every behind console sells better there, last generation the gamecube sold better on MC then Famitsu.)

While Famitsu gets more of their numbers from more broader interest stores... therefore the more popular consoles do better.

Or atleast that would be my guess... as MC is historically always kinder to the losing consoles then Famitsu.  While Famitsu usually tracks the market leader higher. (Which isn't always Nintendo, last generation it was.... the PS2.)
