There are always discrepancies, but Famitsu including download cards into their overall number accounted for the difference (although I thought bundles were included in both, but numbers listed in kyuubi's post say otherwise).

The explain the difference for MHP3rd, I would think they included bundles into their number where media create did not. That makes sense to me.

OK, let's ay they did include them.   Then we have a discrepency of:

MC - 1.715
Famitsu - 1.875 - .155 = 1.720

Incredibly doubtful they'd be within 5 thousand of each other for a nearly 2 million selling game when they are barely within 5 thousand from a game that sold under 20k (Brothers Conflict Brilliant Blue).

WAIT A MINUTE.....it's Media Create that is claiming 155k download cards, not Famitsu.    That means the actual retail sell through for each is:

MC - 1.715 - .155 = 1.560
Famitsu - 1.875

Hmmm....another 300k unit discrepency.  Just like MHP3rd.

Well, no. MC isn't combining cards with the normal sales which is the only way we could possibly have separate numbers.

@ hiska

If they do, how (and why) did Kyuubi separate it all and then add them together to get a total?
