they are only estimates, and games that come free have high sales. Keep that in mind. Anyway, I thought about asking the guy who makes these if i could post those charts of this site. (or at least a link.)
For the XBLA numbers of Mad Tracks, I think I'm a little high on them. I believe Dennis' company he owns/works with released numbers for MT a few weeks ago, that pegged sales around 77,000 units as of the end of March (as per Microsoft's quarterly sales reports for XBLA games).
This would show that we have MT tracked a little too high. Infact, I think I need to lower sales numbers for the majority of games that were pre Fall Dashboard by around 10-20%, as the XBLA numbers I've seen have them slightly lower than what I do at the moment.
At any rate, ToW looks to be a huge improvement over Mad Tracks, and I am very excited to see how Dennis' new game does. Much luck to him, and I will be excited to report on ToW's first week sales hopefully soon :)
Oh, and if your wondering how I get sales: I extrapolate sales numbers from the 2.1m+ users of www.mygamercard.net. Since they track THAT many users, with a few dozen hours of work, I have been able to come up with a viable formula to accurately track the majority of game sales.

Hasn't one of the recent patterns been that a game is nigh unto release when it gets its own forum?

Wow, he lost me about half-way through the faq. @_@
strategykinq92
then pay no attention to the FAQ ;-)
His results are what you need to be looking at, they have been very good so far.
I'm trying to see if he is near mad-tracks actual sales though, that's why I asked denis if they were near that.

Hi all,
