You are correct, I take it back, I have no idea how VGChartz will calculate months. Having said that, the way I am calculating months is always the same, if the saturday lands on the first three days of the month, then it goes to the previous month. This way, on this thread we will be comparing 5-4-4. I know this is not optimal, but it was my best way of having a uniform system. Thanks for pointing the May difference to me. |
From your previous posts you seem to have either copied or scraped a lot of the VGC weekly data into your own spreadsheets... do you think there could be a pattern to how VGC treats months? (btw if you copied it from the hardware by date charts then I admire your dedication... must have taken ages)
Definitely would be better if it was more consistant.
Anyhow so for your comparisons last year was 4-5-4, and this year is 5-4-4 correct? If so then yes May was similar in weekly sales to what Switch is doing now, so if there is a stock or game release boost this year in May there is a good chance it will be up that month. April is obviously not possible as with 5 weeks it was almost 2.7 million last year. And March I agree there is a slim chance, but even with 5 weeks I think it will be down compared to last year. |
I believe how it works is if at least 4 days of a week are in a month, it is counted as one week for that month. For example March 28-April 3 will be apart of March, not April, because 4 March days are in that week
