Well Nintendo  posted the press release on its offical website today: http://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/Vo4KiV1aMO9nLxLhkezo6mNOsTWPRGLK

So the press release wasnt BS after all LOL.

So now is the mystery of where the heck VG get its U.S. numbers from. Unless Americas means all of north, south  and central Americas or something.

There's a methodology page somewhere on this website, but in short:

VGC collects data from a number of retailers and then estimates numbers for the whole region. Most of the time the numbers they arrive at are fine, but there can be some notable differences from time to time, especially shortly after price cuts.

Estimates? 87,254 sound like an exact number to me.

Anyways  ~140,000 overtracking is unacceptable. its not even the same month as the pricecut. Is that some kind of record for a month or somethin?

Well japanese numbers is the same as media creates so I guess japan is reliable. 

 

 

Well when you get sales data coming from retailers that are exact numbers and you plug them in to your estimation formula it spits out a number like 87,254. So that's the number you report to the web. You don't then go and arbitrarliy round the number to the nearest 100 or 1000 units, you report the number your system calculates.
