Can I suggest when whatever it is is reset, you just bump up the numbers to the latest accurate figures, rather than waiting each week to publish information that is 4-8 weeks out of date, by now. 

I must admit I stopped coming when I saw the updates were not as regular as they used to be. Glad I saw this thread as it's explained quite a lot.

Hope you guys can sort this out soon :)

New console launches should be like Christmas for this site. Not having Switch on the front page until 2020 because of a forum debate over the definition of generation or messing up the market share numbers isn't good for the site.

Market share/'generation' isn't important. I'm guessing most of the new traffic the past few months is people looking for Switch numbers and to have them put in some context. I know where to find the numbers but for people like academic/media researchers, they wouldn't know where to start. The front page is not noob friendly.

Before any fanboy accusations, I'd say the same thing for any other console.

For me Gamespy and VGChartz were the most important sites for years. Now only VG is left. Hope this site gets better.

just what i was thinking, lucky if we get 5 updates a year.

Brett is too busy driving his Maserati around. You'd think he would be driving a Ferrari around now from all the ad revenue.

IIRC he drives an Aston Martin, he once posted a picture of it. I think he owns at least 4 companies.

Beggin' for the 'chartz? I'll give you a veru important piece of advice in 3 words: BEG BRETT HARDER! 

seriously this gets asked every 3months now.

Someone put a disclaimer on the home page in big writing that answers the question
