acdcste said: Just out of curiosity will the games where there are pretty big differences like mario tennis, paper mario and nsmb2 get adjusted. It seems strange that they would be left if we all know the numbers are off. Obviously they cant update everything all the time but for the bigger differences? |
Luigi's Mansion definitely won't as it just launched and therefore stores have just started ordering copies, so it's natural that the ship vs. sold difference is a little big bigger.
disregarding the examples for a moment.
In general the sales should be updated, but there is no real connection from the community to the one(s) who update(s) the numbers, so we have to rely on him or them to read the numbers him- or themselves.
We got a lot of Vita and 3DS NPD leaks for lifetime sales for some of their games and only the Vita games were adjusted, probably because the 3DS leaks were simply overlooked.
However since these are official numbers that are all over the internet, it's certainly more likely.
