Conegamer said: So the 360 is pretty much right (but looking at Japanese figures that's only because there's so few consoles being sold to non-english speaking countries!), whilst the other consoles are way off... Maybe they should look at past sales patterns and adjust the numbers accordingly, before they go out. Or they should split them. But the data seems rather unreliable for this area, whilst America and Japan seem pretty constant most of the time |
Yeah. VGC is more accurate where there are good tracking services like Japan (MC and Famitsu), Americas (NPD for US) and big EMEAA countries (Chart-track for UK, German, Spain, France, etc).
The problem is that while the NPD cover 85% (or more) of Americas sales, MC/Famitsu cover almost 100%... Chart-track just cover 50% of EMEAA sales.
EMEAA sales are the big innacurate part of VGC.
For hardware because for software is even worst because the tracking sevices just show TOP10/TOP20.
