As far as I'm aware, all data on the game pages is rounded to the nearest ten thousand units.  As such, weekly sales figures are essentially indiscernable for games selling 5k or less.

Even for games selling in the tens of thousands per week, if it's still below 100k, you won't get a very accurate representation of the figures via a game's dedicated page.

You should check up on stuff like that before you post. The data is rounded to the nearest hundred units, Valkyria Chronicles is sitting at 949.96k in total sales, which translates to 949960 units.

Ah.  it seems this issue only applies to games that have broken a million, at which point the figures are presented in million units as opposed to thousand.  So for example, Killzone 2's game page says the game sold .01 million units in the Americas last week, and nothing elsewhere, which is obviously not the case.

Zooming in so that you're only viewing that specific week of sales does not change this.
