ioi, may suggest something?
I think the main problem with VGC numbers is that you provide very precise numbers, for instance PS4 appears to have sold 429,446 units. This makes people put too much emphasis on small differences and gives the impression of perfect accuracy. Perhaps you should start presenting data as margins (say, 390,000-470,000) or round them all to the nearest 10,000 (430,000) so it doesn't give the impression that the numbers are 100% accurate.
You could still add these precise numbers (429,446) to the totals, etc. so that people can figure them out if they want, but at least I think looking at the main page numbers would have a psychological effect where people realise more easily that these are estimates and not 100% accurate 100% of the time.
