i hate to be that guy, but posts like these rub me the wrong way. its not like the site doesn't make money from us simply being on here. I'm sorry, but when a site that is primarily based and designed to give sales numbers weakly is not giving sales numbers, then that's a problem. 


Weakly indeed.

He's just stating the obvious. The answer to the OP is pretty obviously the response that Dadrik gave, so how can his response "rub you the wrong way"? If you don't like it, then you could just say you don't think that the site should stop producing charts during the holiday season instead of directing your post at a particular person.

what?



Global Sales ending 13th here: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=195688&page=1#

That was 6 days ago, so maybe ending 20th will be tomorrow, exactly one week later?

Are you saying that Dadrik's response rubbed you the wrong way or that the OP rubbed you the wrong way? All I'm saying is that everyone here knows that the reason the charts aren't up is because it's the holiday season and I don't understand why you would quote Dadrik to state your opinion on the matter rather than just stating it in a stand alone post.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I'm saying that posts that apparently "state the obvious" and point out how numbers aren't being released for one reason or the other rub me the wrong way. and went on to point out that this is because this is a site primarily based on sales numbers. so if there is one thing that it should have it's sales numbers. right now its 3 weeks of sales behind.

yet I have done something wrong by pointing this out? Xmas, holidays, friends... etc isn't an excuse for why a sales data site stops having sales data.

vgchartz would make a lot in ad revenue. tbh i don't think ioi is motivated by money because he would run this site so much better if he was. i get the feeling he lost motivation as a result of all the hate the site gets. now of course i could be completely wrong and he might be hiding in a box in tselinoyarsk, eating snakes and saving the world.

I don't know if this is accurate but I feel that you would like to see it!:P

I don't see anything on the site that says sales numbers are posted weekly. They work them out for each week and post them when they are ready, there is no timeframe for them to keep to so there isn't a problem.

By ready you mean when they have numbers from more legit companies?



Holidays needs to be tracked very carefully because they are big numbers. ioi is tracking every single sale himself by calling each household in the world and asking them what console or retail videogame they purchased and the exact date they did so. If in doubt, ioi goes to their home and checks by himself that the statements he was given are true., he ain't giving the chance to those damn fanboys to lie about having purchased 1.2 million consoles of their prefered company.

Let ioi work in peace goddamit.

ioi is a bit like Santa. I wonder if he also gets around in a Sleigh.
