Their data is close to accurate whenever big "official" numbers get released - NPD, GfK, MediaCreate, etc.

Their trendlines and projections are all out of whack though. I remember at one point they had to adjust some of the numbers by hundreds of thousands of units after it turned out their projection was way off from what ended up getting officially released by NPD.

I wouldn't trust their weekly data for any region outside of Japan at all, and even Japan is only roughly approximate compared to what Famitsu and MediaCreate release.
