So the 10% range is used for vgc yearly tracking? Anyways vgc stated that they numbers are estimation, but that dosen't stop them, or large publications like internet sites or the guinness book of world record form using it as facts. I even hear Square Enix are using this site O_0


No. The 10% range is generally used for Weekly sales. Its nothing official, just a "rule" used by people on the forum.

It simply wouldnt work for lifetime hardware numbers.

10% of 100 Million is of course 10 Million. Hardware sales could be reported anywhere between 90-110 Million. Thats a long way off.
10% of 100,000 is 10,000. Weekly hardware could be reported between 90-110k. Thats not too bad.

Again, its nothing official just something we use on the forums.
