You're welcome! It isn't easy given the limited amount of data. Though the monthly reports do provide more data to help make the initial estimates more accurate compared to when we did weekly estimates. 

Completely understandable given the missing data points such as MoM as you already mentioned.  One thing that helps sometimes is trying to extrapolate an estimation based on known relationships.  Japan having 34% UK having 27% and Spain having 18% making you job a lot more difficult though.  

Thanks for the work you put in.  Anyone claiming this is easy is kidding themselves. 

I wish more data points were available. But I do what I can. And like always adjustments do occur when more data becomes available. I should add I actually put PS5 sales in the tracked Europe markets from the monthly report a bit over the 5 times increase year-on-year (Up around 5.25 times year-on-year).
