Japan Sales! Week 33(Aug. 13-19): Famitsu and Media-Create

[JEMC]

Now that I take a closer look at those numbers (good numbers this week, btw) I'm surprised by the differences between Famitsu and Media Create. Yes, I understand that there have to be differences since they use different methods, but some differences are big, surprisingly big.

Dragon Quest X_ Famitsu: 536.133 / Media Create: 487.917  Dif = 48.000

Mario Tennis Open _ Famitsu:  287.874 / Media Create: 254.391  Dif = 33.000

New Super Mario Bros. 2_ Famitsu: 942.758 / Media Create: 912.597  Dif = 30.000

Persona 4: Arena_ Famitsu: 153.608 / Media Create: 176.476  Dif = 22.000

Digimon World Re:Digitize_ Famitsu: 137.546 / Media Create: 153.581  Dif = 16.000

Pokemon Black 2 / White 2_ Famitsu: 2.631.683 / Media Create: 2.644.459  Dif = 12.000

etc.

 

And if we look at console sales

PSP_ Famitsu: 18.836.175 / Media Create: 19.258.243  Dif = 422.000!!!

PS3_ Famitsu: 8.240.405 / Media Create: 8.378.234  Dif = 135.000

PSVita_ Famitsu: 849.295 / Media Create: 884.484  Dif = 35.000

Famitsu doesn't like Sony consoles.
