PS4 and XB1 adjusted down? That... doesn't make much sense, to put it lightly.

PS4 still over 250k undertracked when Sony announced 10m. Why even bother pretending these numbers are close to correct...

that will never and cant be changed

its because of the WoW tracking system. u just cant put some numbers to that week alone. that would affect all other weeks, too
but hey it was also only an sony guestimate. maybe it was off 250k :D

Bold : Oh come on! It's not like they can't just smear the 250k across all weeks for ROW and each country, let's just give you a very easy and simple example on how it could be done. Say we have 10 countries in ROW (I know there's more, but for the benefit of maths), which includes Russia, India, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Tailand, S.Korea and Egypt. say Russia is the biggest market with 20% market share out of those countries and Indonesia is the smallest with 3%, then you add 20% of 250k ( 50k) to Russia and 7.5k to Indonesia. You then smear this number across the 12/13 weeks between the 10m announcement and the 7m announcment (BTW is the 7m announcement correct?) which gives you 20k added onto every week, nothing too radical no? This could be used to get people of off ioi's back, whilst keeping the numbers sensible, whislt waiting for further evidence as to where the numbers actually are.

Italic : Oh please stop this bullshit rhetoric.

bold: no u cant. this vgc "tracking" ist based on estimates and wow changes. not like aktual tracking form npd or gfk, where it doenst matter, if u sell 500k this week and the next only 29k.
dont talk about stuff u dont know anyting about. u can do it to satisfy some "still undertrackd on that date" shouters, but it would fuck up ur tracking
