What a stupid time to adjust.

NPD and shipment data just around the corner, so VGChartz updates with no real idea where anything was/is over/undertracked.

Wasn't the reason that PS2 sales were never adjusted, because VGC didn't know where to put them? How can they magically just know now where to put/take away sales?

Now we have more accurate numbers than before, even if they may still be wrong. It's not like by updating now, we can't update again in a few days. It's better to have fairly accurate numbers now & adjust later than have fairly innacurate numbers now & still adjust later. I'm pretty sure the numbers will probably be adjusted accurately in the future, but in the meantime, it seems smart to make the data at least a little more accurate using what we've learned.

Precisely, I really don't get the whole adjusting now means we maybe wrong later.  The numbers are always "technically" incorrect and then refined in accuracy as we get new figures. 

Its 3 weeks till all the shipment data is in Carl and another week or so after that for the full adjustments to start occurring, thats 4 weeks.  4/52 = 1/12 of the year that we're asking for adjustments to be put on hold.  I applaud ioi for trying to keep the adjustments happening whilever new data arrives.
