Newbie with a question! *holds up hand* So, already figured that VGChartz tends to make a number of mistakes when it comes to tracking hardware, and inevitably ends up adjusting its North America numbers post-release of the NPD and/or other reputable sources.
But since the NPD only extends to a portion of the market, is there an Asian or European equivalent that releases similar reports, sets the record straight, as it were? o.o Essentially asking whether VGChartz ever adjusts its European and Japan numbers, or if it's safe to say they're prooobably as inaccurate as the pre-adjustment U.S. numbers. |
japan has a equivalent its weekly by media create and famustu during the year we get some reports for the big European countrys Uk italy germany ect we also get shipments from the big 3 4 times a year vgc does adjust all its numbers WW but in a timely manner

Awesome, thank you! ^_^ Only reason I ask is there's been some reports cropping up that total hardware count for the Xbox One was over five mil at this point, and the PS4 at 9 million. Supposedly an interview in Edge magazine, but I haven't been able to track down the source itself, so I can't even say whether it was 'shipped to retailers or sold through' numbers, ala quarterly finances report. Was initially wondering maybe there was some severe undertracking in non-NPD regions, but if there's adjustments done, then it's looking just as likely that the articles were either PR talkin, or even outright mistaken.

usually always when WW total numbers are giving like that there always shipped like recently with WD and MK8
noone can give sold through numbers but NPD VGC and MC famitsu aswell as the rare occation that we get some numbers from the big EU countrys which for all these sources they are estamites all those others are shipped b/c there is really no way to track sold to costumers. when a game comes out and days later you get X sold this amount its shipped theres no way that in a few days someone can track SW sales to consumers that quick
