VGChatz is doing market reseach so it's not that wrong to call VGC a "market reseach firm".

Don't copy random editorials.

Well, NeoGaf has some users with information of NPD and LT numbers of games.

Here, we have ioi and... some unique users...

Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

As always, VGChartz numbers are estimates of the market. Nothing more.

-

"What VGChartz offers is timely data that isn't meant to be 100% accurate but be in the right range. We don't compete with the likes of NPD, GFK or ChartTrack; we offer a service that is totally different. One that is not based on comprehensive and direct retail tracking, but rather uses modern and alternative methods to quickly arrive at estimates, combined with a database of historical sales - constantly adjusted and tweaked to be as accurate as possible."

"However, even with the greatest of diligence, our data is still just an estimate so whenever quoting a figure from VGChartz it should be listed as an estimate and readers should be made aware that there is a margin of error associated."

Haha I'll take that as a compliment I guess. I would take this place over NeoGaf any day. Everyone is so much more polite.
