Forums - Website Topics - We're a month behind in the numbers and ioi has been gone for over two weeks, what gives?

Has the site been abandoned? Seems like the tracking on the site stopped around the same time Aquamarine was shaken down by NPD. I'm not much for conspiracies, but...

Ooh is this today's thread? Nice.

And who knows is the short answer.


Consdering you are a moderator you should ask Machina if he can contact ioi or that he knows everything is fine considering he can contact him (smeags told me).    No problem if ioi is busy but now we know nothing like most mods :s.

Depending on this site is a joke now. Once a month updates.

What's the point if you get them right before NPD?

Unfortunately I think that was the big draw to VG Chartz was the weekly numbers appose to getting them monthly over at GAF.



I'm starting to think that outside parties may be influencing the release of Vgchartz sales numbers. 

It may be through financial or coercive means.

Many folks are flocking to this site and are quoting it in other publications.

To a company on the negative end of the sales, Vgcharts releases may be bothersome enough to require some form of intervention.



Hope nothing bad happened in real life...

Same thread as always.



Honestly does it matter. Ever since I made an account for this site, sales have taken a secondary and very unimportant part of this site. I think this is a much bigger problem to people who never made an account here and use this as a source for console sales. In my opinion they can come, whenever since the only reaction they will get from me is '....Oh, X game has sold y amount, that's cool '.



Send a Friend Request On PSN :P

ioi gave up on us

Yes because we are number addicts.  the Japan pre order and amazon threads are huge because of the numer addicts who try to find their satisfaction based on small samples.

For the people thats been here for a long time we're probably a little spoiled. Every Sunday we use to get preliminary numbers for Japan and the number usually came 2 to 3 days after if the numbers ever took more then 4 days there would be a bombardment of threads questioning where the numbers were.
