Now it just so happens that ioi decided to take off and provide no data whatsoever during one of the busiest times of the year for this site, during a time where it no doubt would bring in a ton of traffic. 

 


Quite the opposite is the case. Not actualizing the numbers brings in more traffic. The longer no new numbers, the more people click, click, click, come back and click click click on vgchartz to check if the new numbers are on. 

Anyway it´s really unbelievable. Not actualizing the data on a sales site is like mcdonalds stopping vending hamburgers.

This is usually not true. I work in the food industry. If we run out of something that people greatly desire they will take their buisness elsewhere then they will usually complain that they didnt get what they want and they will never come back.

If information is not there people will go where the information is. Furthermore the people that are usually here will go where the information is. Thats when things start to snowball..


But this is the only place you can get accurate WW sales numbers most of the year for video games. There is no other place to go to for that info. NPD only represents half of the sales data.


less than half

I sure hope they are taking a well deserved vacation from VGC. They have continued their excellent work in 2014.

Gaf im sure has its places. Npd will give you us with accuracy. Also most gaming websites themselves put up links and articles updating you on numbers. Just saying there is a lot of people you only get one chance to have them be a member or frequent patron.
