I got slated a while ago for suggesting that the website might use MC and Famitsu numbers to help form its own Japan figures, but I think the absence of Japan numbers at a time when MC/Famitsu are yet to declare pretty much confirms it.

And the possiblity has never crossed your mind that VGChartz may not have Japan numbers yet for the same reasons Famitsu and MC don't have numbers yet, and NOT because Famitsu and MC haven't published theirs? All of Japan was on vacation until now, including probably any sources all these publications use as basis for their numbers. That makes as much sense if not more than your theory, especially since ioi said they dont use Famitsu and MC as their basis.

It does not make sense.  Famitsu and MC have already the numbers but have not published them because the usual day of publications have been holiday days.  This is not the case for a non professional site like VG chartz.

As the VG chartz numbers are always very close to the numbers of MC and Famitsu when they are far from those from NPD, I would not be suprised at allif the numbers were just based on theses instituts.

 

The lack of japanese numbers when these boths institutes are in holidays tends to prove it.

Let's go through this again... VGChartz have one or more sources on which they base their Japan numbers. All of Japan was until now on vacation. That they haven't had any Japan numbers until now only proves their source for Japan numbers is indeed in japan
