You guys aren't pulling punches this week, ay?

Kasz216, no luck, but google translator spits this out:

Retail POS data is based on. データ提供元のカバー率は、およそ57％、多様な業態をカバーしております。 Data provided by the cover rate is about 57 percent, and a variety of business to cover. さらに、事前の予約状況、出荷状況や消化状況、中古動向といった周辺データ、店舗へのヒアリングによる定性情報等を補完資料として用いています。 In addition, prior reservation status, shipping status and digestive conditions, such as secondhand trends surrounding data, to store the hearing by qualitative information such as complementary materials.

It's been said time and time again that MC covers about 60% of the market, and that pretty much sums it up, so I'm not pressed about getting y-koron to translate.

ioi said MC and Famitsu both cover about 60%, so that seems right.  Just goes to show you that no matter how much source data you have there will still be a large margin of error.  Basically all we can get out of this is that Wii and PS3 sold about the same this week.  As I've said, actual numbers are most likely somewhere in the middle.
