Forums - Sales - Problem with halo 3 sales?

On the database it says 9.7 million http://vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=6964&region=All

On the weekly numbers it says 9,671,159 http://vgchartz.com/weekly.php

Is this normal? Do we round that much up? Isn't it suppose to say 9.67 million on the database?

hmm......thats happened to other games too



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I didnt realize 29,000 was a big deal when you consider its sold 9+ million.



It's really not such a big deal is it?



oh my god. my calculations now are all wrong. this were the worst news today :(   looooooooool

ps: from .5 you round up ( i'm good at maths  )

they round up each region then add, thats why there's a big difference...



That's a 0.28% difference, SHUT DOWN THE SITE!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you're right you round up from 5. But they present the number on the game page as 9.70 million. In proper maths speak that means the actual number is somewhere between 9.695 million and 9.704 million. If they don't wanbt to be misleading with that number then it should display as 9.7 million. That way the reader can assume the actual number is between 9.65 million and 9.74 million, a range wiithin which the actual sales figure resides.

Slightly sloppy, but those who really care about accurate sales numbers will either pull up the sales history graph, or look at the latest weely sales chart. So no harm no foul.
