From IGN's Gaming Life in Japan report:
Once again, a warning. These sales figures do not represent the full number of games sold; rather, they're just an accumulation of sales from a large number of stores in Japan. Notable absences in the stores polled by Famitsu are Toys R Us and Sega's Online service, among others.
That is why Famitsu always has less sales than the other, but I'm also surprised at that large of a difference.
