Forums - Sales Discussion - Minecraft sales: France: 360 - 150k, PS3 - 90k (undertracked). Germany: PS3 - 100k+ (undertracked). 100k on JP PSN

Is there something about PS consoles that make it's so easy for VGC to undertrack (they seem to do it for so many PS related things). Like, are the tracking methods different for the two consoles and their software?

PS consoles sell a lot more than others in places that are harder to track

Just to point Germany Minecraft.

"Minecraft (Mojang / Mojang) erhält den BIU Sales Award in Gold für die Plattform PlayStation 3 (für mehr als 100.000 verkaufte Spiele)."

VGC have it at 78k.

 

France + Germany alone give us a 70k undestracking for Minecraft... do you believe the Europe is not unde too?

Like Germany and France?

No, its just that software tracking here is hit and miss and frankly... pointless.

Yes, like Germany and France and practically everything but the US and UK and maybe a handful of smaller countries...up until this gen.

There is... PS consoles/games sells more where VGC have ZERO base data.

Shocking news! Vgchartz are under/over tracking...

...im sowwy


Software tracking is largely irrelevant now.  Digital is pretty big and it isnt tracked and there is no way software is tracked well outside the large markets.  I dont even look at software numbers anymore unless I want to wind someone up.


I agree, pretty pointless the software data on this site now.

Its only good for hardware data weekly so we can see who "won"

But for actual numbers - even hardware data is off
