Why would you not consider adjustments? That would make your logic seriously flawed and shows that most of you really don't understand how VGChartz works. The currently weekly PS4 figures have the same adjustments applied as all of the data that has come before it. So if we previously estimated that a region represented 2% of total global sales and now believe that it is closer to 3% then that adjustment applies both to historical data and to all data from this point forward - it's not like we have gone back to 2% and will need to adjust the current weekly data back up to 3% again in a few months time. This is the point I try to make about how we do adjustments - we don't simply add some numbers here or there to fudge the historical data, we adjust the formulae and re-apply it to all of our raw data so that the old numbers are now correct and moving forward the new ones should be as well. I don't really understand what you are trying to "demonstrate" with this thread beyond the usual inane ramblings I seem to see more and more of on these forums... |
I think he's tying to show the cumulative tracking difference your site has for the ps4. It's a useful tool in the sense that it shows much more undertaking than overtaking. even still the cumulative difference is still less than 10% of the total and very impressive especially with much that from growth the markets harder to track.
Though I can see it fueling the never ending cries of under tracked, I think should go further and do for more systems.
