Oh, come on. The numbers on the site may not be accurate at all because of the way the data is collected (shiped vs. sold, sources, etc). But clinging to the auto-update thing, and showing javascript code like you're on to something, is plain silly.
Have you never heard of stats like McDonald's opens a new restaurant every three hours? You really think they do that, every three hours on the clock? It's an average, people!
The same thing could be done with sales data on VGChartz, and as long as the data was good, and the numbers and assumptions where corrected when approriate, it would be neither better nor worse with an auto-update than without.
Reality has a Nintendo bias.
