VGChartz Methodology: Appliance estimates are based on retail samples and country-by-country trends, which are then extrapolated to represent the broader region. This typically allows us to produce numbers that end up within 10% of the actual total.
This data is regularly compared to official shipping figures released by console manufacturers and figures estimated by regional trackers with greater market coverage than ours. We then update our own estimates to match those numbers. This can result in frequent changes often over a short period of time, but we feel it’s important to prioritize accuracy over consistency.
Note that our estimates are based on sale data (units sold to consumers). In almost all cases, the numbers released by console manufacturers are based on shipment (sale) data, as once a device leaves the factory and enters the supply chain for delivery, it is considered a sale. This is why there is always a difference between comp numbers (sales) and VGChartz estimates (sales), even after adjustments are made. The only exception to this is when a console is discontinued and remaining stock is finally sold out – at which point the numbers will match.
