Strange how VGC hasnt done the full adjust, though.

I think we should go by whatever the official numbers are for the qeek. So, we should wait til about wednesday before updating week 4.
An adjustment to the week a day after is not so much of an adjustment. I would conaider an adjustment being changes to numbers for weeks that have already passed.

More will be coming since Sony announced that they sold 160,000 PSV's in North America.

This year is a mess.

What's happened to 3DS? It's sales this week were down YoY! It's only a year old and showing signs of saturation? Needs more games.

What is with all the hate? Don't read GamrReview Articles. Contact me to ADD games to the Database

I asked all the participants who posted in this thread in the last 100 or so posts if I could drop the method of looking at the Original numbers in favour of full adjustments. Those who responded did so positively. Therefore from next week on I can show full details on the adjusted numbers. I will now give you an update on the new numbers. As of this hour the adjusted numbers are as follows:

Console	Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week4
PS3	307,241	280,540	344,238	752,337
X360	215,316	357,217	421,203	982,471
Wii	63,186	84,44	123,216	387,463
3DS	269,608	373,099	408,208	615,127
Vita	67,102	63,224	102,993	200,397

Also on a more mathematical note I asked if I could change the method of calculating the scores to a Natural Logarithm function. That is LN(Predicted/Real)*100. This changes practically nothing, as it is just a different approximation from our previous method, but it makes more sense mathematically and is easier to calculate. I'm not sure everyone is familiar with the Natural Logarithm, but it can be found on most calculators as LN or "^eLog".
