Which if true is kinda odd. |
I have the same confusion, I think that is what is going on, which makes it a bit tough to easily compare consoles, specially when they are really close.
What do you think about trying to divide the week by 7 and just multiplying by the days each month has for that week. It wouldn't be exact but it should be a bit closer to reality in all cases.
One down side of doing that is that it wouldn't match VGChartz values and it might make it a bit tougher for people to double check. In that case, trying to match VGChartz would be most appropiate (although tough when dealing with two different ways of sorting at the same time).
What do you recommend?
