As with almost all digital sales tracking the intention is good but the execution is utterly laughable. This has literally zero value.
So based on one or two games that had roughly 5% of people rate them that means all titles have 5% of people rate them. Of course no one decided to question if those titles were even fair representations of the market for other games. Meaning that games like Asphalt Injection have sold over 100k digital despite retail sales being only 60k worldwide. Oh and those digital sales are only in the Uk and USA? So I guess worldwide Asphalt digital sales utterly destroyed retail! Gravity rush has sold 40k digital in Hong Kong alone?
Seriously this whole x20 thing is ridiculous. You are trying to assign a random multiplier based on the chance that people may have rated a game. You may as well just throw a dart at a board and see what number comes out and use that. Surely some of these titles must have leaderboards as well? Wouldn't that provide a still inaccurate but at least slightly better representation?
