Don't say that...not over Christmas...that's the most important (yet most difficult to track, and thus most unreliable) time! So I see why it would be best to get it all done in time for then, to make the numbers more reliable! 

I suppose waiting for a little while/skipping a week's sales would all be worth it in the face of progress, right?

I'm well aware i'm prattling on but would it kill them just to post the hardware numbers worldwide for week ending 19th November? Even if it was just in an article format and not a chart!

We would never skip any weeks numbers, what a silly suggestion, these things take time and delays happen/ i'd like to see your response if you had to face the same thing.

You misunderstand me. I meant releasing 2 weeks of numbers on the same day/week, which I'm sure has happened before. That way the new system could be finalised and sorted out in time for next week's numbers. Putting 2 weeks up at once wouldn't hurt anyone, after all.

Well, I'm sure they're close so we won't have to do that.

You know better than I, but this sounds like good news! 

Looking forward to seeing all the changes. Does this mean every single week in the past is also changed?

i think because they want people to see how MW3 push the amount of X360 sells a bit longer... xD
and let people see the amazing 1st week MW3 sells a bit longer too... xD

or perhaps maybe they are just too busy playing MW3...?? xDD

I wonder if 1 of the8 chartz will see MW3 not at number 1. If so I want to move to that place...

So?  They didn't specify who's tomorrow it would be.  Could be Hawaii's tomorrow.  :p

ioi said: Yes, will be weekly now I'm afraid. A taster though:   USA Weekly Chart Week Ending 19th Nov 2011 Pos Game Week Weekly Total 1 Assassin's Creed: Revelations (X360) Ubisoft, Action 1 699,632 699,632 2 Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary (X360) Microsoft, FPS 1 629,461 629,461 3 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (X360) Activision, FPS 2 621,561 4,495,825 4 Assassin's Creed: Revelations (PS3) Ubisoft, Action 1 402,992 402,992 5 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (PS3) Activision, FPS 2 381,765 2,564,753 6 Saints Row: The Third (X360) THQ, Action 1 343,361 343,361 7 Super Mario 3D Land (3DS) Nintendo, Platform 1 292,878 292,878 8 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (X360) Bethesda Softworks, RPG 2 286,626 1,406,986 9 Saints Row: The Third (PS3) THQ, Action 1 178,724 178,724 10 Need for Speed: The Run (X360) Electronic Arts, Racer 1 150,530 150,530 Source: VGChartz

so assuming the 87% ratio. MW3 week 2 slightly lower then black ops week 2! Halo at over 700k in Americas, which I'm sure is slightly dissappointing. Revelations is MUCH higher then brotherhood's first week. Skyrim had a 79% drop but still sold more in just Americas then New Vegas did worldwide week 2 and saints row three doubles saints row two first week sales in America. Need for Speed the Run also had a massive increase over Hot Pursuit O_O.  Super Mario 3DS sales arent too good imo but it will no doubt keep on selling forever.
