VGChartz was listed the same way (unsafe) , but I believe it has to do with advertisements taking you to some page automatically, I know it happened to me here once or twice when I was virus free (fresh OS install, everything up) then I get forwarded to some site (right after comming here) and my AV has a fit.

There was a time when VGchartz sent viruses to people. It happened to me several times. The problem seems to be fixed, as it didn't happen since months.

They used to be semi-reliable (almost), but then when VGchartz got popular they kind of died.

Basically the three consoles just increase by a timer, so if you count how many Wii it increases by in a day, and then do the same 10 days later you will get the same number.

Occasionally the numbers are updated to be closer to reality [possibly using the quarterlys? but I'm not sure I should even give them that much credit] but the rate at which each console increases hasn't been changed, which is why their numbers show no holiday sales [nor any other sales spikes like price cuts]

Yeah, it's already been said that it increases automatically at the same rate. and it did update in August or maybe it was early September, right after VGChartz announced the the Wii had surpassed the 360 like I said earlier.

Actually I made a thread about when Wii passed 360 (according to NGW) that was in early November I think... I shall see if I can find it to confirm the date.

Yes, I know that the Wii passed the 360 on nexgenwars in late October/early November. I'm just saying that nexgen wars upped the numbers of each console in August.
