This is a non issue for most items. Yes there is some like X360 UK sales are completely missing on some games. T hat is not undertracking but a complete error.

Here is the thing. 99% of every game on this site is probably under or overtracked by at least a small margin. Especially if you want to consider digital sales. The thing is they are estimates of sales from retailers and should be treated as such. As far shipping, that is what companies track. VGC tracks sold. If you want to follow sold then VGC will give you good estimates. If you want to follow shipments then follow the news when companies release info, if at all.

In the end don't expect 100% accuracy.  They are only estimates.  

They are not good estimates though. Read through the OP. In the past, VGC used to be much closer than they are now and they regularly did adjustments to hardware numbers based on shipments.

No, I completely agree with the OP and you about inaccurate numbers.  But I don't expect ioi to do anything about this, specially a thread created about this.  I have been on here for about7 months actively and never see ioi.  Its almost like he has abandoned this site.  In fact this weeks figures hasnt even updated.  The numbers has changed but not the overall numbers which is why i havent been able to update a couple of my threads.
