Forums - Sales Discussion - Anyone else find people bashing VGChartz, then using their estimates moments later annoying?

its no secret that this sites numbers can be off at times, but what really annoys me is that you have certain users bashing this site on a daily bases as well as using their estimates on the same day, so what gives?

It's a classic case having your cake and eating it too.



Signature goes here!

hypocrisy is human



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

I'm still butthurt over those initial PS Vita black Friday numbers, so I disagree.



Like anything, people like stats that support their belief and disregard stats in opposition.

I feel that VGchartz is plenty accurate enough so you'll never see me post "It's under tracks" or "It's over tracked", or "Wait for the adjustments".

Yes, it happens, and it's funny.

Slightly off topic but I think people should stick to quarterly reports and official announcements, as vgc numbers will become "more" inaccurate eventually, digital distribution is just one of the many reasons.



Funnily enough I've realised exactly to whom you're referring to once I saw e thread title. Yes I do find it beyoNd annoying when people are being hypocrites too, but ain't nothing that canbe done, so might as well ignore it.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

^^This guy says everything is human nature. 

OT: I've noticed that as well. But context is key. If a person consistently bashes VGChartz data for no reason, then sure I'll be annoyed.

But if someone has sufficient reasoning to support their claim, then that wouldn't be annoying at all. In fact, I encourage such behavior as it informs everyone of a specific error and lets them know how the market is truly behaving. I also wouldn't be upset if that same person used the accurate data later. It's established that some of our data is more accurate then others, so it's understandable if a person discriminates between what to trust and what not to trust.
