Of course, VGChartz uses calendar year for eg, while companies uses financial years in comparison. But at some point we need to decide where to have the brackets to measure. |
Still, I don't necessarily think it should be a calendar year per se. Like I said, a single bad month can make all the difference. If we're going to define a system's peak sales as a "peak year," perhaps it should be any 12-month span, not necessarily one running from January to December. It gives us much more flexibility, and is perhaps a more accurate way of determining when a system had its best sales. Kind of a like a 12-month running average.
