I've worked at the DB before. I believe that VG numbers ,outside of relatively big software releases and hardware, are not based on any data. That's why a small mistake in the inputted release date causes false data to appear. their estimations are base on the genre of the game and past trend of the franchise for most games, no more.

So what you're saying is, in this case of BL2, that it might have sold 2K, 42K, any number in between, or any number over 42K ad infinitum and we will not know it in any case??

Yes, VG just make an educated guess for this kind of releases. Any "tricky" release date ,like in Borderlands 2 case, could cause a mess in that methodology. that's why we used to make sure that every release date is correct before the charts update. But now, we don't even have the tools to add or fix release dates. The owner have shift focus to Gamewise.co

That's a shame, I would have thought that this site turns a tidy profit.
Never heard of the other one, guess I have to remember to check it out.
