I was just pointing out that VGcharts appears to be filling the gaps in data (lower selling games) with similar numbers. Like how eventually games just sell 250 copies each week in Japan on VGcharts? I speculate they didn't really have data on Kirby and so put it in their class of games that sell 16,500 copies.
Their website says something like they interview execs, etc. I wonder how hard it is to call the regional or national inventory people at a large retailers and get their data directly if they already share w/ third parties.
I guess you just gotta figure out how to make money doing this to cover all the trouble. Like I said earlier, I'd pay $10-20/month just for basic sales figures.
