Forums - Sales Discussion - I don't come here for sales, I come here for the great community.

I think it's safe to say we won't get any new numbers anyway from here on out.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

Why is that?

Is there something I missed?

Has it got anything to do with why bloodborne sales are not out yet?



Both for sales and community.



Proud to be a Californian.

I come here for sex...

And lack of numbers can be a hidden bless for people who support hw with poor sales.

Azzanation: "PS5 wouldn't sold out at launch without scalpers."

People that only come here for the sales have probably already abandoned this website or on the fence.
I think it is safe to say that most people are here for both, although the community is likely the main overall factor.

I enjoy both, however, as we all know there is only the community side of things as of late.
Hopefully there will be some sales updates soon as they can be fun to look at and analyse.

i really dont know what all the fuss is about

sales discussions were big on here when it was ps3 vs 360 b/c no expected the the PS3 to have sales issues for its first 3 yrs or so and for the 360 to have a lead throughout last gen

this gen its done its over, PS4 won theres not going to be any come back by either the WiiU or xb1 the ps4 will have a lead of over 50M it nearest competitor when its said and done the XB1 wont even win US

theres nothing interesting about sales for the past 5-6 yrs now

i can understand during the holidays that we get weekly updates b/c of the holiday bump in HW sales and alot of SW is released aswell as MS consoles have better than average sales in US

but by the looks of it i wouldnt be surprised if sales on here are completely stopped all together just afew weeks ago ioi said sales would return to normal idk if that meant weekly updates or monthly b/c we havent got either

as i said early the net isnt really raving about the sales of any consoles theres no tight battle with any console or handlheld, sale numbers just isnt going to bring the hits on here anymore

Total agreed.



I feel like the response to threads like these, the adamant defense of ioi is analogous to a thread made a while back about how gamers get treated like crap by developers, and console manufacturers and rush to defend their abusive one side relationship. Like the fallout of Diablo 3 not being playable for a week after launch and every one saying we need to deal with it. I mean it's crazy to expect something advertised as working to actually work when payed for.

Yes VGchartz has a good forum community ever since we decided to stop the console flame wars, but what you guys are doing is the big guys dirty work. Making people feel like they're in a minority because theyre upset over numbers never being updated anymore on a website that compiles numbers as it's headline (literally the center piece of the sight are #'s) and shouldn't complain is a fascinating way to see how people can become victimized while being portrayed as a outlier who cares about things no one else does.

I mostly lurk the page checking on latest tid bits of news in a condensed way, but I see no reason why that needs to be done on VGchartz now. Along with the obtrusive banner ads and pop up ads that plague this site, it seems it's better to stop doing the numbers. However instead of a dead silence that started with excuses like "ioi is on vacation he will be back soon to update" we should have at least a mod or contributor tell us the numbers are done so we can move on. I'm tired of opening this website as the daily sites I visit expecting numbers and not seeing them, just tell me ur done.



Thats good because i think sales numbers are gone.
Besides, they are not very accurate to begin with. Just all produced in an algorythm made by ioi.
