Because the methods used to get accurate numbers here aren't.... the most accurate?  Until companies give numbers like they should, it's all smoke and mirrors.  Given how off they were this holiday season, and the fact that digital sales are becoming more and more prevalent (more digital downloads than cds sold for music, steam doubling sales) I'm not putting nearly as much weight on the numbers here. 

Indeed, quarterly shipments are the only relevant thing, we discussed weekly holiday sales here for months, all became obsolete with a single NPD data.

Which doesn't count digital sales either, or bundled games.  So it's not like they are accurate either, plus that's only one region.
