I'm gonna stick to COMG, I think. This chart is unrealistically PS3-centric. I count five PS3 games there; there won't be any in this week's MC/Famitsu, in all likelihood. Pretty sure that means it's not very reliable.


There were 4 PS3 games, 2 PSV games, and 1 PSP game on Media Create last week...


I'm really sorry; I feel like a moron now. It was late at night and I looked at the COMG weekly chart (which has no PS3 games right now), somehow thinking it was last week's chart. My bad.

I do find it interesting that, if this chart is roughly accurate, it means that COMG is very anti-Sony (well, anti-PS3, at least) this week, which is not what we're used to at all.


No worries, this chart isn't going to be 100% accurate either, but it is used as a decently reliable estimate on a number of sites I read. There will always be skews from any individial retailer though. For example, Dragon Quest X usually charts in the top 20 here yet usually does not in Media Create. Why? Because Tsutaya has a deal with Square Enix to hand out 1 week free trials and sell the full registration codes for a highly discounted price. So their sales data is skewed on that game. Same would go if they have a special sale on any particular piece of software during the week.
