Something to consider as you do comparisons. Nintendo uses Media Create for its official sales data. They combine their retail numbers with their internal digital numbers. They don't use Famitsu for obvious reasons.

And?

Well, that's not the response I expected lol.

We have to rely on Nintendo for comprehensive sales data (digital), then it's best to use Media Create. Even moreso for Nintendo, because you already have ~90% of the equation.

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

Well that's unexpected for a change though no less weird. What's with these gaps between the three?

Media Create tracks Amazon.jp, while Famitsu doesn't. Last week Amazon.jp had an special bundle with Bomberman R. That's why Bomberman is back on the 9th spot, while the game is out of the Top 30 in Famitsu (meaning less than 1.249 sales for them).

The differences this week are basicaly from Amazon.jp.

The three trackers have different samples and some stores might not been tracked by other or viceversa, that's why they have these differences.

If that's true, then that makes some sense. The stock issues could very well be making tracking more dificult in some ways too as availability from one chain to another varies wildly if it's anything like in the States.

They're telling you not to be flip flopping from one tracker to the other to suit yourself.

Oops my bad! I didn't see the tittle of the thread where it "JUST" says Media Create with an arrow pointing to it that says "BEST AND ONLY LEGIT TRACKER".

Might as well not include the other 2 anymore and let them join Vgchartz?

I agree.

We should make threads only about Media Create. Nobody care about the others as they are not as accurate.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Decent numbers for the N2DS LL. Hoping stock issues for the Switch are somewhat sorted for the onslaught of Splatoon 2 buyers for the following week. Also pretty good performance from the PS4 this year, DQ XI driving the hype I'm guessing.

Also Ever Oasis.... womp womp womp...
