The counter to that would be pointing out the significance of the 5%.

Weekly sales? 5% of 100,000 to 300,000 units is nothing worth spilling milk over. Lifetime sales? 5% of 80 Million is a totally different prospect. Surely there has to be leway when the numbers are so large and the evidence is in front of you.

Edit - kow beat me to it.

Another aspect is that a 5% error in Worldwide sales could be a massive error in a specific region.  For example between the time they first went up and now, the rest of the world numbers for the PS4 went up by 24.5k.  That is pretty small for the overall weekly numbers, but represents a 128% increase for the region.
