Forums - Sales - KZ2 numbers scewed on VGC?

Perhaps I am retarded, and if so I apologize in advance :)  But, something about the way VGC has been tracking KZ 2's sales figures over the past couple of weeks has me confused.

I first noticed an oddity regarding KZ 2's numbers 1 week after I posted this for a laugh.

I found it amusing that Halo 3's 82nd week numbers were better than KZ 2's 8th week numbers. A mod swiftly dumpstered my thread because apparently only Sony fanboys are allowed to troll here.

Anyway, the next week I looked at the numbers again for both games and I was shocked to see that KZ 2 had doubled it's sales in week 9 from week 8. It jumped all the way up the world wide charts to #7

 

This seemed impossible to me so I clicked on the game name to check the sales history, and it turns out that KZ 2 sold nowhere near 69 000 copies that week. I figured that it may have been a glitch or whatever so I ignored it.

I checked back again this week and it appeared KZ 2 in it's 10th week had been messed up again with it being listed at #15 on the charts with 43 000 copies sold. The sales history chart on this very site for KZ 2 shows it selling considerably less than 69 and 47 thousand copies in weeks 9 and 10...

 

What's up with that? Does this site always over-track Sony games on the front page to make things seem less gloomy than they actually are? Am I missing something? Are we to assume that the extra copies being tracked on the WW charts are an estimate from the "n/a Japanese numbers"? I don't think so.

I know it's kinda of embarrassing for the Sony fanboys to see Halo 3 dominating KZ 2 in this fashion, but there's no need to skew the numbers on the World Wide charts is there?

This place makes me lulz myself to sleep :)

It came out in Japan...



Former something....

No. It launched later in Japan. So week 1 of Japan sales is... week 7 or whatever of worldwide sales.

This right here, guy.  It's Week 8 or whatever for the worldwide sales but week one for Japan.



...

HAHAHA you idiot i am sorry i take that back because you are not to know. but i really do hope it is a joke thread to be honest.

Anyway If you look it says in the charts how much kz2 sold that week, But on the KZ2 page it shows how much it sold in each region. Like The weks charts shows Japan 2nd week numbers With EU NA week 10 numbers because they are the same week but the game has had stagered launch dates,



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

I started reading this, then realized he completely forgot about Japan launch. Well, either that or he thought it stopped selling completely after 2 weeks.

Anyways, I loled.

Man you should do some research before posting things like this



Ha ha, the thread creator is such a clown. I would have used a lot of meaner words, but that's all I can get away with. Failure of the highest level, my good sir.
