How does VgChartz get the hardware numbers?

Media Create/Famistu = Japan
Some stores = US
Guesses = EU and Others

I'm just kidding... I don't know for sure... well the Japan is certain at least.

US = mathematical models fitting previous years to this year

EU and Others = mathematical models fitting previous years to this year

This is the reason vgchartz is getting more and more off the track. Previous years saw predictable increases year over year. There is no model available for declining markets (due to whatever reasons like saturation, still rising economic troubles, tablets, etc).
