Can anyone help me with the total software numbers confusion?

First row is the total software for the worldwide weekly chart of 02nd October

Second row is when i went to Data analysis>Software totals and added up all the console specific pages

Third row is from the Data analysis>Hardware totals>Software page

PS3 - 273.18     PS3 - 274.36     PS3 - 294.25

360 - 387.43     360 - 404.62     360 - 419.42

Wii - 518.67     Wii - 527.62     Wii - 540.17

Which total is most accurate?

i do apologise for going massivley off topic but how do you create a new thread on the forum i cant find a button for it anywhere!

As i dont want to derail this thread, it would be ok to reply to me through private message. 


Go to the section you want to make a thread in (Gaming Discussion, Nintendo Discussion, Off-Topic) and you'll find a green tab in the top right hand corner below the Search GamerConnect bar, just click on that and it should take you to a fresh thread that you can set up.

Wii should be able to outsell PS3 next week because of Wii Party.

 I can't help but think kinect will be the gateway into japan. I think if it does open up sales in japan it will be interesting how much units they can move with japan on board. if xbox could just match what the other are doing in sales it would almost put it to 50,000 units ahead this week. I would like to see xbox take off in japan, they have tried so hard to open up the market over there it's not even funny.

I think japan is to proud to buy a product not of there own. hard to say why they don't buy any american products.

Hiroshima & Nagasaki

Yeah, like Apple Products, McDonalds...I mean, they're doing so bad in Japan..oh wait.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

hard to say.

I can only tell you that the weekly charts only include the software sales of games that charted in it (even if it isn't in the top 200) However there are games where we have total sales for one region, but when you look at the game's page you'll see that we don't have any weekly data in that region.

I compared the second and third row by region and it looks like most of the difference is in EMEAA. Can't say why though. Probably the one with the highest numbers is the most accurate, but I've no idea where we got the data from.

So take the 2nd or 3rd row.

McDonalds killed more Americans than the Japanese killed by the bombs, so it's a subtle vengeance the Japanese can only like!   

But Apple, could you ask? Well, Apple makes American gay, possibly reducing their birth rate and causing in the long term population ageing and increasing the risk of stagnation or even economic collapse.

Tout se tient.

I don't think so

 

the 360 slim was a complete FAILURE in Japan....

 

why would Kinect be any different?

 

the 360 is pretty much dead in Japan and nothing will change that

Thanks for clearing some of it up for me! But i still can't quite understand why they don't just add the total software to the weekly charts so we will have 1 place for all software without having multiple totals in different locations with zero understanding of why
