VGC is 2 weeks "behind" so you should be adding those weeks on to the difference plus one of those weeks is uncharteds release which should see a spike so more like above 1m difference

Yes VGC is currently as of the 7th and this data from sony is as of the 22nd. 

VGC as of the 7th is claiming 40.7M, sony as of the 22nd says "over" 40M.

Even if VGC adjusts  down by two weeks prior to uncharted release those weeks (according to VGC) typically has a baseline of around 150k/week. That means that if we adjust VGC down then we have around 40.1M at its curtent date. 

Either way, its not up to 1M overtracked. Thats less than a 5% error margin. Thats not bad. 

Im not saying its not overtracked. I'm saying having less than a 5-10% error margin for LTD sales for something that has sold over 40M isnt that bad at all.

Lol. It's not a 5% margin of error, it's a 25% margin of error. It's horrible tracking, because Sony gave us numbers when it was at 35.9 million. You should calculate margin of error from last official sales update, not from launch lol.

It's a horrible margin of error because everyone that follows sales and shipment updates could have given a much closer number than what VGC is giving. That removes the point of VGC's own hardware tracking.
