Well I only know the standard is that the Thursday of a week determines what year it's in since that's considered the middle. I don't know for a fact if Famitsu follows this or not though.

The best answer I could find is that Famitsu counts something towards January even in the event that only a single day of the week in question falls into January, so this means Famitsu's next 53-week-year will be in 2023. Week 1 of the tracking year 2023 will cover December 26th 2022 to January 1st 2023, so December 25th 2023 to December 31st 2023 will be week 53.

Therefore December 28th 2020 to January 3rd 2021 will be week 1 of Famitsu's 2021 tracking period, making 2020 a 52-week-year.

Ahh alrighty then. Now I'm wondering if vgchartz uses that system as well for its yearly totals, but I suppose we'll know soon enough.
