Separately. Famitsu claims to track physical download cards, but the difference between trackers is usually negligible in the end.

Ah thanks for clearing things up, also applies to hardware too? 

Which one of the three would be the most reliable/trusted? 

They're both reliable and trust worthy. I know that Media Create is what Nintendo uses for it's official numbers reporting of physical game sales. I typically choose Media Create to follow each week (switching between the two is a no-no when making WoW or MoM comparisons).

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

I asked the same thing a while back. A couple people did say Media Create.

Ah cheers for the responses. Yeah definitely wouldn’t switch between the two as their numbers are always different each week they put up their numbers.

Massive drop for the Switch but manage to keep over 100k.  We can only hope that the stock will not go below 40k starting January.

Must be stock issues since usually numbers are up again that week or fall just a little.

Very nice hold for PS4, i think its the Monster Hunter effect.

The Switch has been doing so well that I doubt it'll go under 40k any time soon.

So since there was no numbers this week will there be two weeks of sales being posted next week?

Famitsu numbers in and ps4 is up YOY!

1.93M for the year. The highest number of home consoles Sony have sold in a year in a long long time. Ps2 days since they beat it. 2017 was a success.
