    I don’t understand when they shorten the time in which they calculate sales numbers to such small periods.

    I get year, and even half-year. But it gets a bit weird with months and weeks.

    It’s doesn’t seem like a good indicator of a game’s popularity. A bit too forced.

      Its not unusual to rank media and have weekly or monthly takings. They tend to sell best st launch and its a good comparison. Gaming is a bigger industry than movies and movies has been going it for years.

      However, an article focused on one game in one short period is junk, unless they have something extra tonsay beyond that.
