Since BlackBeauty and you made the claim first, I will leave the burden of proof on you guys.

To think that MH and anime games aren't completely overrepresented on COMG is quite the interesting take.

Using the last year of data Sony games (games for PS4 or Vita) have made up about 55% of the total number of titles present in the COMG preorder chart while making up less than 20% of the top thirty games each week in the Famitsu weekly sales charts in the same time period.

Whether or not you think this is because 'there are more anime/MH' games present in Sony games doesn't change the fact that by pure numbers games on Sony consoles are overrepresented in the COMG preorders.

Number of games in  COMG preorder chart has little to do with the famitsu weekly top 30.

Famitsu top 30 is about games with sales and especially legs, featuring a bunch of games in week 2 or more.

Comg is simply preorders and we try to predict first week sales from those preorders, nothing more.

A better comparison would be comparing number of new games in Media create 1000 to COMG.
