Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I would say a cleaner aesthetic. More polish in general with the layout of the page. It's not bad, by any means, but it does seem a bit out-dated.

Or just ban you and save everyone the trouble

Its about improving the site, not devaluating it

I just want the weekly software sales estimates back. They define vgchartz for me.
I usually only visit vgchartz for sales data.
But now , we are only getting the official numbers which can be found in any other site too.
I know its brcause of the high digital attach rate, but would still love to see the estimates again.



95% of all users only signed up for sales numbers in the first place.

Better sales number. If possible ya'll should let us see hardware numbers from other countries like Canada, Mexico, and ROW countries.



All I really care about are badges.



Not sure if you can improve it. At least not to where more people will suddenly flow in.

-sales numbers aren't really exciting in a one horse race.
-people don't seek out articles like they used to. They just watch a YouTube video of a person talking about what they read in an article.
-The forums are as great as ever but there just isn't the controversy to make it exciting.
-We can't track digital sales, yet.

I enjoy the site, sure. Somebody probably came up with some great ideas in the posts above and below me. I personally just don't see much that the Vgchartz powers that be can do differently.

Free tacos?



After changing the email address was finally implemented (yay!), my #1 wish is now HTTPS. I'm not sure that's going to be a huge hit though, so I'll vote for better social features/more GameDB features. I have no idea what those might be but I imagine they could be popular.

Oh, and there are still occassional complaints about ads, so I imagine there's still something wrong with them.

1. Have a more objective set of forum rules. The current rules are written so that virtually anything can be considered breaking the rules. At the end of the day, it's up to whether or not a mod thinks you were being nice or not. I've run across my fair share of banned users, checked their profile history to find out why they were banned, and left scratching my head. For real though guys, I have no clue what the rules here are. They just seem to be an amorphous "be nice". 

2. Less news articles that repeat themselves. I really don't think we need a separate article for a game topping in 5 different countries. We also don't need a new article for every character reveal, or trailer. Instead of posting three articles, on a game, in two days, why not just condense it into a single preview article? Like, one that gets updated? That would be a lot nicer, and so much more fun to read! 

3. I'd really like a forum section for rumor threads. That way I can unsub to them. Too many rumor threads get debunked and then keep getting bumped up into the top of hot topics. 

4. A way to easily see and navigate past articles.
