I find it slightly perplexing that vgc adjusts weekly numbers with a week, more or less, of originally publishing them when there is no external data (like NPD) that drives the adjustment. This suggests internal data is driving the change, which begs the question of what internal data change has lead to the, sometimes significant, adjustment? Did new data come in? In which case the originally published data was actually only provisional not final. Or did the predictive algorithm throw up an anomaly?
I don't mind unexplained adjustments when it's clear that external data (NPD, quarterly shipment reports) is behind the adjustment. But substantial adjustments within a week without obvious external data driving it does warrant a brief explanation.
're UK numbers - seems like Titanfall is helping to drive xb one sales more than I predicted. PS4 does need an exclusive game that actually excites prospective buyers if it wants to establish a clear lead on xb one. Will be interesting to watch.
