Forums - Sales - The Weekly adjustments thread

Killergran on 04 September 2009

 

As you all know, all numbers on VGChartz are subject to change without notice. While that is not really an issue for me, it can sometimes be good to have a record of old changes. So starting from now, this is that record. All hardware adjustments for all three big terretories will be tracked and saved for posterity.

Yes. I'll try to keep updating this table with the adjustments of the week, every week. I've been doing this over 6 months now, which is rather rather more than I expected.

Methodology:
This weeks total - Last weeks total - This weeks numbers = Adjustments
This means I am not tracking changes made to individual weeks, but changes made to the total. If the adjustment one week is 10k up for the weekly numbers the previous week, and 11k down for the weekly numbers the week before that, it will show up as 1k down in my calculations.

All numbers are in units.

Good, it will be great if you could keep track weekly.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Good thread.

But what happens when past weeks get adjusted which only affects the total numbers?

I'm only going to show adjustments as calculated from this weeks cumulative minus last weeks cumulative and this weeks weekly.

That means that all adjustments reported will be cumulative total adjustments, and not adjustments of the weekly figures. Beause that would be too much of a pain for me to figure out. It's horrible enough as it is.
