How would we know? We know exactly zero of VGC's actual sources aside from the obvious ones.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm almost certain vgchartz has no actual direct sources anymore.

Regardless everything is calculated through a system that would obviously take Amazon sales into account.

They are taken into account. "Track" would be a bit too much probably.

VGChartz doesn't track anything. They extrapolate from few samples (don't know how many), historical data and other stuff

ethomaz used to but he got destroyed during the power struggle of 2013 when ioi unleashed his real power

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

This is the definition of tracking pezus.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."
