Pro Evo over-tracked then. Think we had it in the 420k or so region.

There is something really screwy with the Japanese sales of Winning Eleven 2011.  Assuming the actual weekly numbers displayed on the Japanese charts are correct, then it is at 392,797 after 9 weeks.

I think I figured out the problem, but not really the cause.  There seems to be a second set of data that is being combined with WE2011.  For the weekly charts

Week 1: 229,503  4,460 = 233,963
Week 2: 233,963 55,189 229,503 1,549 - 4,460 = 515,744
Week 3: 515,744 28,319 55,189 880 - 1,549 = 598,583

and so on (I assume, didn't want to keep going through them).  It seems this other set of numbers is getting added to both weekly and LTD totals seperately each week.  After the first week, the first data set (i.e. 229,503 - 4,460 [225,043 = first set | 4,460 = second set | let's just call the combined number the third set]) of the previous week gets added to the total a second time.

In other words

Week 1: D3.1 D2.1 = W1
Week 2: W1 D3.2 D2.2 D1.1 = W2
Week 3: W2 D3.3 D2.3 D1.2 = W3

D3.1 Would be the third data set, week 1
D2.2 Would be the second data set, week 2
D1.2 Would be the first data set, week 2
W3 Would be the displayed total for week 3

Edit: Ugh, forgot that pluses still disappear after posting.  Well if you don't see an equals or a minus, then it should probably be a plus between any two figures.
