There are always discrepancies, but Famitsu including download cards into their overall number accounted for the difference (although I thought bundles were included in both, but numbers listed in kyuubi's post say otherwise).

The explain the difference for MHP3rd, I would think they included bundles into their number where media create did not. That makes sense to me.

OK, let's ay they did include them.   Then we have a discrepency of:

MC - 1.715
Famitsu - 1.875 - .155 = 1.720

Incredibly doubtful they'd be within 5 thousand of each other for a nearly 2 million selling game when they are barely within 5 thousand from a game that sold under 20k (Brothers Conflict Brilliant Blue).

WAIT A MINUTE.....it's Media Create that is claiming 155k download cards, not Famitsu.    That means the actual retail sell through for each is:

MC - 1.715 - .155 = 1.560
Famitsu - 1.875

Hmmm....another 300k unit discrepency.  Just like MHP3rd.

Well, no. MC isn't combining cards with the normal sales which is the only way we could possibly have separate numbers.

@ hiska

If they do, how (and why) did Kyuubi separate it all and then add them together to get a total?

It's in media Create official website. They separate bundles to tell how they sold. But they are included in the total software and hardware sales, as MC says in the report. They always give this information when there's a bundle. I remember they gave figures for Toukiden bundle and Disney Magic Castle bundle (all included in software and hardware).

They specificated that download cards are not included, but they tracked them, but as an accesory (not a game, like Famitsu), and then they add the eshop sales (probably given by Nintendo).

That's the english MC website, but it's not upload yet. They usually uploaded in english a week later. So you can check in english:

Thank for the explanation. I understand now.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
