Congrats to Sony.

This is further proof why no one should trust the data posted by the admin of this site.

They have a margin of error of less than 5%, which is pretty damn good tracking, so you are way off. the numbers on this site are very trustworthy indeed.

While I don't care the numbers are off here and I'm glad we get them let's be clear about the facts.  They're never just 5% off especially for the ps4.

If they never adjusted to match official sales and shipments that are regularly announced they'd be way off.  They are only ever close because we've got a few years or correct adjusted data plus a few months of their own fairly wrong data.  

I love this site for its estimations and adjustments but let's not pretend it's anywhere near 5% 

What are you talking about? They are literally less than 5% off this time, just compare VGC sales data until 14th of november, maybe add another 500k för the week ending 22nd of november and you are about 4.3% off. When they have made adjustments they will ofcourse be closer, but it is fact that they are closer than 5% from the official sales numbers right now.

You don't understand.  If they did their own and only their own tracking they'd be miles off.  They are only close because they have an accurate graph of official numbers dating back since the consoles launched.  It's not hard to get within 10% when you have a general idea of where official sales are going.  

 

Again I appreciate the effort and wouldn't want this site gone.  I love it and I love the fact the numbers end up largely correct.  You just have to give the official numbers their due credit.  

 

For example every week we get media create numbers.  Vgchartz is 100% accurate for Japan sales always because they use they're trackers for numbers.  Nothing wrong with that but it's not to be credited to them.
