A person can not say that someone else is jelous cause if he does, it would sound pretensious, a webmaster can not say that they are jelous cause it would also sound pretensious, so. . .

Let´s all of us say:

THEY ARE JELOUS AND THIS SITE ROCKS ! ! !

:P chauuuuuuuuuuu

Thats what I wanted to know, thanks ioi. In another thread that someone posted somewhere else criticizing VG Chartz they had posted a link to number that had been copied down before the release of the NDP numbers for April 15 and they were wildly different than the numbers that are on their now. Obviously if you are off by a huge number and you find out about it, you are gonna fix it. I just wanted to hear your side of the story so that if I ever defend you and your site, I will know what I am talking about. Pretty much every one of their arguments against you are debunked in the about page. I guess the idea of someone trying to make something new and different is scaring them like everyone else has stated. Neogaf is one site that I just plain don't like. I hate people that are so... conservative in there way of management.

Hey ioi, i dont know why, but my sign, has not been updated yet, may be this is a mistake in the programing of the forums ? Just wanted u 2 know, bye Wii is going to be the winner, but i wont buy it until i m 100 % sure ! : P

In the U.S. and Canada, Nintendo requires all retailers to provide them with the system serial numbers at the time of sale.  So Nintendo does know how many DSes and Wiis are sold each day in those territories.  I don't think they have such a system in Europe and have no clue about what goes on in Japan.

I'm a 360 fan and I can tell you that the numbers on NexGenWars.com are completly made up.

When Microsoft announces that they've shipped 10.4 million and 10.5 million was showing up on NexGenWars.com as sold, you realize that they don't even know what they're doing.

 Here'as my official response though I'm not ioi: F*ck neoGAF.

Why not?  And this goes for any console. Why deny yourself of the plethora of good games out?

As a gamer, you deserve to treat yourself better than that!

theres one thing which i would like you to do.

Since the sales numbers are posted based on data received from retailers why dont you disclose the sales distribution per store?

for instance NPD doesnt take into account the number of consoles sold at BESTBUY and WALMART.

now thats stupidity since they are discounting 100 k+ consoles per month probably.

The sales for Canada and US are also done separately.

This is in a sense misleading.

If you take the total aggregate sales of ps3 in NA in April you would reach over 120k if all stores of US and Canada are included.

So i think rather than posting AA sales fig why dont you post the sales distribution per store .

This would clear a lot of confusion.

@Larry, they dont just ignore the walmart and bestbuy stores, they simply dont collect data from them. This means they extrapolate from their current data approximately what these stores are selling. So they dont underestimate the sales of the ps3 consistently unless walmart and bestbuy consistently sell a hell of a lot of ps3s.

Neo-Gaf's colors are ever apparent to me. They ban what would neglect their traffic. Typically stupid forum goers. Not an impressive site. However, I believe if this site wishes to maintain validity it needs to substantiate itself with some serious backing by a major retailer or something of the sort. Just some easy to read (and factual) evidence of the site working. I believe that deserves to be expected.
