Actually, whilst Chart-Track generally cover 90% of the UK market, for certain games it can be as high as 95%.
With what you’re doing in the UK, you’re working with 7,000 retail outlets, which you estimate is around 90% of the market?
It’s probably closer to 8,000, actually, so in the UK, in the leisure market, that’s around 90%. We’ve done establishment surveys with people like Take Two on San Andreas or Liberty City Stories or whatever or with EA on their products, and we’ve found that it can be as high as 95% coverage, so we really do have an extremely authoritative panel in the UK.

Those certain games happen to be GTA games 
. So this should be more accurate:
Software:
GTA IV: 1.350,000 (95% non-extrapolated)
360: 57% (769,500)
PS3: 43% (580,500)
GTA IV: 1,421,000 (100% extrapolated)
360: 57% (810,000)
PS3: 43% (611,000)
