Wikipedia is as accurate as the Encyclopedia Brittanica. 


If that were true then why do professors never let you cite Wikipedia as a source? It is a good source but can be very inaccurate depending on the article.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4530930.stm

It is true. Professors just don't like it because it's a conglomeration of sources instead of being a primary or secondary source on it's own. But you know what you can do? Use the sources wiki uses. Professors will even tell you that

Fail on the source. Wiki source is on attackonthefanboy, wich source is insiderp. 120% hoax

Definitely not always reliable. Always check sources. And sources' sources.

Oh....in that case, I will admit defeat, as I was incorrect.

On the flip side, though, we know TLOU PS3 has sold 7M+ copies. VGC still has it at 4.87M. I doubt the remainder was all digital, retail, or a mix of both. I mean, there is a discrepancy of 2.13M+, so we know VGC has been undertracking this game. By a lot. And quite frankly.....Insiderp has been more accurate than VGC, lately. Coupled with it being the "fastest selling PS4 title" digitally and "dominating the charts" (for July) at retail when it was only on sale for 2 days in July (against a whole month of sales for other games), it doesn't make sense that it only sold 600K FW. Infamous: SS sold 700K FW. All that factored in (and a larger install base to boot), do you honestly think it only sold 600K FW?

VGC bad tracking lately is around 5% error margin, they just don't track digital copies, as it's, well, impossible. Wich explains tlou missing copies.

And Yeah, TLOUR will do amazing, but with its legs, as it's a year old game, peopel won't rush for it on ps4 as they didn't on ps3.

BTW wikipedia is indeed amazing, it's just a few bad sources every now and then.

Wikipedia is not les repliable than VGC though, so there is no way to know who is right before Sony announcement

When it is using the same figures that insiderp has it can't really be considered at all reliable...


When insiderp is more reliable than VGC, if we consider VGC can be reliable even a bit, then ....

Dude just stop trying to make insiderp credible...how did TLOU R do 1.5 million in 24 hours if it released on 2 separate days? Also, first week NPD showed 250k for TLOU PS4+PS3 with UK sales being 70k from MCV. Both the biggest markets for the game. Don't try to justify this Wikipedia thing..its wrong.

That is my thoughts.
