Exhibit that our estimates are in step with sell-thru data (items equipped to customers). In nearly all cases the figures launched by console producers are in step with cargo data (sell-in), the set up as soon as a tool has left the factory and entered the provision chain for offer it is miles idea of as a sale. Here is why there’s incessantly a distinction between the companies’ figures (sell-in) and VGChartz estimates (sell-thru), even after we’ve made adjustments.
