The Current State Of VGC's Sales Data

VGC being off with its sales estimates isn't a recent development, so the people who are still here are used to it.

If this thread is actually about users complaining about wrong numbers only when they are on the wrong side of the fence (meaning that overtracked numbers are gladly accepted as the truth), then that isn't anything new either.

If this thread is trying to say that there is a high chance that VGC has to adjust the weekly numbers it posts later on, then that isn't anything new either. People familiar with the methodology would take larger timeframes to judge VGC's accuracy; if the estimates for a full quarter were close to the shipment data released by a console manufacturer, then that was good enough even if individual weeks had a big margin of error.

If in this thread's example Black Friday week is too low, then other recent weeks must be too high, otherwise the grand total of PS4 sales doesn't match with Sony's corporate release.

Stop destroying this poor boy's outrage with logic!
