Ads are the worst on mobile, even worse is that I've been served malware and porn ads which makes checking the site at work impossible. I get VGC needs to pay for the site, but when it gets to the point the site is unusable then it ends up generating less revenue because people either stop coming or only come when they have access to the desktop with adblock.

Sadly I don't think it'll change, ioi seems to have moved on from the site and is obviously happy to let it rot.

no offense man but literally the name of the size is 'video game chartz' like as in numbers. there shouldn't be one sole person doing the numbers for a fairly popular site based on numbers :O I'm just saying. still a cool site but at this point there are other sources that have been more reliable and up to date in the past few months. would make sense to not rely on one individual to compile and figure it out on here, why not have a team

All forum members should start getting commission based on post count? o/

I don't undertand. 

Came for the numbers once, stayed for the numbers.
Now I do not care that much for the numbers because:

• download numbers are not counted
• global total numbers are just a statistical calculation
• numbers are constantly retroactively adjusted

All tracking companies use statistics to calculate their numbers, I don't see why this should be a problem. It's the very same reason why MC and Famitsu numbers aren't exactly the same.

And I believe it is a very good thing to adjust the numbers if there is valid evidence that adjustments are needed.

If the site gains revenue from site visits then you are no longer coming here for the layout of the site or the content on it provided by the creator, but more the content provided by the forum members here, the joke being that we should get a cut of the profits of the site since it is the forums you said you came to read. (it was sort of meant as a joke, I find paragraph long explanations of those rarely makes them funnier!)

So the article had PC Game Sales of physical as only 5% of physical and dropped 30% over the previous year, and with higher game prices.  That's an enormous trend.

Yet says it estimates the extreme reverse on conoles?  That seems like a massive leap in logic.  Maybe that do that in the UK but it stills seems odd.  Do they still buy new Records there?  How about a gramaphone?

Either way, in a few years, I think it's pretty clear, except on the WiiU due to storage space, the overwhelming majority of game sales will be digtial.  Just look at how much more Minecraft on the Xbox 360 sold digitally then physically.  I even bought some digital games, like World of Goo, digitaly on my Wii.

To stay relevant VGChartz needs to find a way to track digial sales.

That's right, in the last time the numbers are always a month behind, hope it will change again

You're right. If television viewers/ratings can be tracked, there should be a possibility to track digital sales as well.
