I meant hardware, not software.

Like, if someone orders a Switch or a PS4 from Amazon and gets it delivered to their house, do we track that as a sale? Or are our figures just from brick and mortar stores?

Oh that. I honestly don't know the places you gets the hardware figures from. Just that it is pulled weekly and the algorithm extrapolates those figures to the full market. After that I make adjustments based on know numbers such as Famitsu and current market trends. 

Ah, fair enough.

So the site's become like one of those ancient machines in sci-fi/fantasy fiction where nobody understands it anymore but we all just keep it working like stone age post-apocalypse survivors worshiping the hydroelectric dam which still powers itself. XD
