That doesn't look like VGC data they're using...:

http://vgchartz.com/ayearly.php?year=2008&console=Wii&maker=Electronic+Arts&boxartz=1

Rock Band looks fine if they adjusted for US only, but then Madden looks high. Boom Blox looks high no matter what. Tiger Woods 09 and 08 have their rankings reversed... the list of weirdness just goes on and on.

 

Yeah, that's what I noticed. Boom Blox is 355k in America, not 422k, and worldwide 700k. So they're are wrong with the numbers. Anyway... good for VGChartz

 

 

See, I don't think that it is good for VGChartz if people are citing numbers which aren't actually VGC numbers. Are these NPD numbers which are mis-identified as VGC? Are they keeping a weekly tally of VGC estimates which doesn't account for adjustments? What's going on here?
