Having said that, I'd say the discrepancy more than likely lies not in MC botching the numbers, or Famitsu over-tracking. More than likely, Media Create numbers are an "adjustment". They do it quite often. Famitsu had constantly (according to some) under-tracked the PS3 vs. Media Create. Now for the first week in awhile, it's the opposite way around. This happens alot, as both companies will go over the other companies data, and see where corrections need to be made. Having said that, IMO, the best way is to use a composite of all available information between the major sources in Japan - VGC, Famitsu, MC, Denkegi, Shinobi, ect. Merely because the median should be pretty reliable. Am I the only one suprised the #'s came out so soon on Thursday? Also, way to go X360 on an increase. You go girl *snaps fingers* |
That's definitly the sensible way to do it.
