I wouldn't call 15-20k overtracked "Heavily" overtracked. But yea, I'd say that this is a disapointing performance from the U.

It's on track to be overtracked by about 30k. That's 50% off. Big big overtracking. 

I ment in the bigger picture of things. 20-30k overtracked isn't that big of a deal. Obviously, a console selling so low will have higher percentages of overtracking/undertracking because the numbers are so low to begin with. Take xbox one (I know, it's an extreme) in Japan for example, some times, Famitsu or MC will have it at around 1k while the other one at around 200. Would you be telling me that since there's a 400% difference between both trackers that both are terrible at tracking console sales?

Edit: I'm not trying to argue you for the sake of arguing, I just think that percentages of over and undertracking shouldn't be taken so seriously when the console is selling so low to begin with. 25k is nothing in the grand scheme of things. That's roughly 6k less per week.
