I kind of curious on why Famitsu and MC have shown the PS3 just barely higher then the Wii for the last 4 weeks, yet VGchartz has shown the Wii just barely higher than the PS3 for the same time period.  I understand that they don't necessarily use the same sources to extrapolate data, but odds are for one of those weeks with sales being as close as they were they would be the same.  

They've been basically tied, and the data more or less reflects that.  Also, while MC has had PS3 ahead the last 4 weeks, Famitsu hasn't afaik, and neither has Denegeki.

I'm not arguing the statistical tie.  I actually think that's kind of neat.  I just think it's a bit weird that not once in this 4 week period has VGChartz and MC agreed on who had the slight edge no matter who it may be.  I would think the laws of probability in flipping 2 coins 4 times each... One of those times they'd both show heads, or both show tails.
