Oricon has lost some of its credibility anyway, due to a scandal that involved a certain firm (I can't remember which) accusing Oricon of inflating Johnny's artist sales and sometimes even decreasing the sales of others to make Johnny no. 1. (There was an example with a Johnny's group and Porno Graffitti, I'll try to find the site."

Many find Soundscan to be more reliable, BUT it doesn't nearly have as many information suppliers so the overall numbers are lower and it's harder to track because they chart every single version seperately.
