the most accurate numbers are the companies fiscal results. but we get those once a year, so NDP is 2nd most accurate and it is once a month, VGC gives us weekly numbers but understands its numbers are not final so anything in the database reflects a company's fiscals if it is older than 1 year, NDP 1 month and less than once month it is VGC estimates. |
Well, the numbers provided by the console makers themselves are shipment figures, not sales figures. Even then, regional breakdowns are hard to find and yearly figures of any kind are nonexistent for Sega. MS has never given regional shipment number while Sony stopped providing them a few years ago.

shipped = sold once the game is not longer being sold in store. Some of those sales may be in the 5 dollar bargin bin, but they are still sales.
