But tha makes no sense. It means VGChartz are going to have to bloat PS4 numbers in the next numbers to catch up. It's far better to adjust the small amount required now rather than later.


No that's not what they do. The data for the week ending the 16th will be whatever Brett has calculated. At the same time however he goes back to previous weeks and adds a couple thousand units here and there. It's the same thing they did with NPD. The posted data for the week ending the 8th and updated data for the past few weeks.

But why do that when we have Sony's own figures NOW? That sounds a pretty complicated process when you're only adding around 120,000 - 150,000 units.

Just to make it clear, I think VGChartz has done a pretty good job of calculating the PS4 numbers, I'm just not sure why they don't immediately adjust the figures in accordance with Sony's own figures when they're released.
