¿¿?? How do you know that?

Famitsu is always the tracker that has more differences if you compare with the other two trackers (Media Create and Dengeki).

I prefer MC numbers because they always give the First Shipment when the top 500 comes out. 

I follow NG threads, and some key members always say this - I can't confirm that, ask there, someone should have the answer, but I think the number is significantly larger. Also, except for DQ, Famitsu and Dangeki really differ that much?

In old days some people even waited for Famitsu numbers for "confirmation".

I read NG as well, and Chris1964 said that MC covers the 53% of the Japanese Market, while Famitsu covers 3.500 stores. As we don't know how manys stores are in Japan, we can't say which one is more reliable.
Famitsu was wrong with FFXIII-2 FW while MC and Dengeki showed similar numbers, and the same happened with Monster Hunter 3G.
