the last of us has the highest price avarage of all the games on that list. insane.

I'm not sure about this, but didn't the Last of Us only have one month on this list? If so, there wouldn't be a price drop.

Of cource, if the game sucked it would have needed one, but that's a different story.

I LOVE GIGGS

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

As far as I can tell, comparing VGChartz numbers up to August 24th vs. these numbers up to June 30th:

I went ahead and recorded European VGChartz numbers from January to June and compared them directly with GFK's numbers for you to use in the OP:

Game	GFK	Vgchartz	Under/Over-tracked
Fifa 13	1,898,171	1,407,207 (PS2 n/a)	Undertracked = 490,964
Call of Duty: Black Ops II	1,413,624	1,184,633	Undertracked = 228,991
Tomb Raider	1,363,611	1,196,207	Undertracked = 167,404
FarCry 3	938,400	909,745	Undertracked = 28,655
The Last of Us	858,636	822,400	Undertracked = 36,236
Assassin's Creed III	839,733	656,026	Undertracked = 183,707
Bioshock Infinite	732,735	721,230	Undertracked = 11,505
Just Dance 4	689,644	478,281	Undertracked = 211,363
Crysis 3	689,468	471,278	Undertracked = 218,190
Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2012	684,341	539,131	Undertracked = 145,210
Battlefield 3	579,013	341,764	Undertracked = 237,249
Skylanders Giants	537,164	330,562	Undertracked = 206,602
StarCraft II: Heart Of The Swarm	512,536	275,774	Undertracked = 236,762
Simcity 2013	509,700	408,535	Undertracked = 101,165
Luigi's Mansion 2	478,612	406,600	Undertracked = 72,012
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim	470,910	499,348	Overtracked = 28,438
God of War: Ascension	466,722	305,967	Undertracked = 160,755
New Super Mario Bros. 2	433,900	358,135	Undertracked = 75,765
Dead Space 3	431,575	369,570	Undertracked = 62,005
Gears of War: Judgment	304,054	334,844	Overtracked = 30,790

Looks like VGChartz has some serious adjusting to do, also I'm happy that God of War: Ascension wasn't a big flop! It was undertracked 49K 1st month US (NPD), undertracked 161K by June in EU (GFK) which means the game's undertracked by an absolute minimum of 200K. Since the EU numbers are by the end of June we need to add 2 months of data to 0.47m & we don't know how undertracked it is in the US other than its 1st month so I bet it's undertracked by 350K+ . It should roughly be at ~1.70m by now, could definitely hit 2 million by the end of the year and 3m+ lifetime which is really great for the weakest GoW on console in an unpopular genre and considering it was once called a massive flop by many.
