All this overtracking and undertracking talk just seems like...... fanboy talk.

No one can be sure about who is overtracked and who is undertracked, no matter where or when.

Even in Japan there is this controversy, just check the disparity between Famitsu and Media Create numbers.

As for software sales, the information is even more imprecise, since many handheld owners are buying their games by download. It was said at a certain moment that about 300k of AC:NL were sold through Eshop only on its first and second week in Japan. So the software numbers we have for Nintendo games are highly innacurate.

It´s about time the industry start to announce those digital sales numbers correctly, but if it is not even able to do that with consoles sales.... we can´t expect much.

So we shouldn´t make such a fuzz about those numbers. They can only give us a brief, but not an accurate, sales scenario, at most.
