Maybe they are doing it on purpose...

And they would achieve, what exactly?


While likely being sarcastic. It's possible they did it on purpose because they realized that they had been overtracking the PS3 and 360, and that if they kept things as they were the number totals might end up going of ther manufactured and shipped numbers... in which case they'd catch a hellstorm of complaint.

If you look at Famitsu and Mediacrate... when every they widley differ. Like say Media Crate says a game sold 60,000 and Famisu says 100,000 you'll see magically the next week Medicrate will often say it sold 60,000 when famitsu says 20,000.

All and all... who knows though.  You think Sony and MS would make a bigger fuss about the numbers if they were misrepresented.  Maybe the boost won't hapen till this next NPD... on the basis that the console boosts were caused by casuals who might not be able to get to the store the first 5 days or so.
