COD (360):  1,381,828

Everything seems about 10% over... odd.

GFK covers 90%... not 100%.

Seems fine for all.

GFK covers 90%?  why?  why dont they simply extrapolate?

 

Because GFK works just with known numbers... the data is collected each week from 7,000 retail outlets representing 90% of the UK software market... the other 10% of UK market is unknown... they prefer not extrapolate.
