Why does the weekly hardware chart show higher numbers than the USA hardware by platform chart?


Because you are comparing USA and N.America.

*facepalm*

Right. Somehow that slipped my mind this time. Weird that Canada, Mexico, and Latin America combined represent such a small part of the market.

Off topic: Mexico is part of Latin America. 



thats debatable since its north america as well

Latin America is all countries from Mexico to Argentina (it doesn't count non Spanish speaking countries like Brasil, Guyana, etc). 

Mexico is indeed part of North America, but it forms part of the cultural sub-name (I'm pretty sure that's not what it's called) Latin America. 

Everything from Guatemala to Argentina (including Brasil, Guyana, etc) is called South America. With the sub-continent Central America (from Guatemala to Panama).

Keep in mind people usually study this things differently. In Latin America (not sure about Mexico) most countries study America as a single continent from Canada to Argentina. But I know in the U.S is different.

But anyway this is off topic :p

Fair enough.

I don't think that VGChartz has been tracking it. It has already got reviews in NA.

VGC should be tracking every game release... unless it did so bad that there is no reason to track it.

Here in Brazil we have two big divisions...

Blue = North America
Green = South America

Green: Anglo America
Yellow: Latin America

If the numbers are correct

Dead Space Crashed, compared to DS2 (which I think VGC has undertracked)

DS2 had 80k xbox 360 and 50k PS3 second week USA.

This game has 40k and 23k respectively. DS3 oustold the second one first week by about 40k combined worldwide, so it's already behind DS2 unless something amazing happens in Europe. meaning the 5 million they said is seemingly impossible.

Yeah almost every country studies this things differently. Here's one of the best videos I've seen explaining the matter.

They are not tracking Virtue's Last Reward either and they did not track LittlebigPlanet Vita in the begining either.

They have done this numerous times. However, I don't know why they are doing this.

maybe because of the way the extrapolate the data, they know what they're extrapolating is wrong in certain cases and thus don't present it.

Hmm a Wii bump wonder why.

Wii U is same old same old, least it's not dropping I guess.

And did Kirby's Epic Yarn pass 1 million last week or the week before?

 



Its at 1.94m according to the link.

More importantly, how the hell is it this high in the chart?

EDIT: sorry noticed this was just for USA

Quite I knew it had passed 1 million total sales a while ago, was just askin about US sales.  But hey 2 million total isn't that far off!
