For November 2016 I see PS4 at 3,296,010, not 4,270,239.... I think you included the week ending 3rd Dec in with November instead of December. (or is that intentional, are you splitting the difference on those border weeks? or any weeks with 4+ days in that month go in that month?)

Hi @HigHurtenflurst I actually changed to include any week with 4+ days to count for that month. I was told that this is the way VGChartz counts it, therefore this december will have 5 weeks instead of 4, Is that correct?

This would make the switch gain november back. What is the correct way of analyzing this? Thanks for pointing this out.

Neither is correct, as long as you are consistant.

If you are looking at comparing months to historical months it might be best to do what NPD does, always have months with the same number of weeks where possible (I think last month of every quarter is 5 weeks, then every few years they have to have January as 5 weeks as well to reset it)
