I hear it is much more accurate! So no complaints here.


what does the category system has to do with accuracy?

before EMEAA would all be clumped together so fairly accurate Europe numbers would be grouped with guestimated Asia/Middle East numbers. Now they make easy to tell where they actually track numbers and where they guess rather then clumping both catagories together. Total numbers are equally accurate I'm assuming but now you can see what amount of sales they are just guessing about and what amount of sales are gotten from polling retailers, customers, and all the other stuff they do in the regions they specifically track.

What does AP-ME or whatever it is even mean? I get that it's Japan and everything else but what does it stand for?

Asia Pacific-Middle East I think.


Oh okay makes sense. Thanks man.

yeah i know their tracking is bad in other parts of tyhe world

 

but JAPAN numbers are pretty accurate as famitsu and media crate and other tracks help vgc alot

 

for areas such as middle east,asia,africa,south america,they should do another category
