Forums - Sales Discussion - The "This game is undertracked" thing needs to stop.

If a post contains plausible reasons backing a claim that a particular console/game has been over/undertracked, I am far less likely to consider it opinionated BS than a post that does not.

But what if the game is undertracked?

I agree. Its starting to get annoying.

It's a site whose purpose is to predict and track HW/SW sales. If they're wrong, and people have some source that can help get them right, it'll be posted.

We know that VGChartz did/do undertrack The Last of Us, Uncharted and Killzone games by millions of units.

IT IS NOT UNDERTRACKED. If the sales
aren't going the way you want them to
be, that does not mean it is
under-tracked. My God, I am sick of
hearing this from butt-hurt VG chartz
users.

This, plus if the user claiming that its Under/Overtracked has reasons i dont see why other should be bothered by it.

But GT5:P, GT5, GT6, GTPSP, TLOU, GOW3, amongst others are massively undertracked...... (GT5:P should be at ~5mill, is at 4.17, GT5 should be at ~11m, is at 10.4, GT6 should be at ~4m, is at 2.8, GTPSP should be at ~4m is at 3.17, TLOU should be at 7m+ , is at 5, GOW3 should be at ~6m, is at 4.7....)

But querty's comment looks like it was in response to this:

 Olivernintentoal (1 day ago)
Europe has to be undertracked. There's no way it sold a third of the US first week.

 

It's a claim that Europe is undertracked, with nothing posted to back it up. Had some info backing the claim been posted, I can't speak for querty but perhaps it wouldn't have come across so annoying.

(Edit to add) The previous comments all carried figures from Nintendo and NPD to back up their claims of undertracking, which is nothing to complain about in my eyes.
