The head-to-head counts only games both stores currently sell, comparing one US price each — a store cannot win a game the other does not list. The two rows below it are each store measured against every store we track, which is a different and much larger set of games, so they are context rather than a comparison. Everything here comes from our own price catalogue and moves as prices do, so it is a snapshot rather than a verdict for all time. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, which is why these numbers are measured rather than argued. Full methodology.
