If 33% in equals 179k and 69% in equals 194k. And +36% increase equals +15k. What if the final +31% equals +13k = 207k ?

These are not polling station results though. 69% means 69% of retailers reported, not 69% of overall sales counted. If they knew what 69% of overall sales were, why not just post the overall sales. Different amount of sales at different retailers. 10% of retailers could be responsible for 100k sales, why another 10% could be responsible for like 10k sales. The final number will be close to predictions most likely, so no need to have meltdowns just yet.

It's easier for the bigger retailers (iTunes, Amazon, Walmart,... they have enough IT for quickly calculating the sales and do automatic reporting) to report early. When you wait till the smaller shops writing their daily sales in daybooks and waiting till someone of Nielsen SoundScan calling them. What if the final +31% is even less worth than +13k ?
