Forums - Sales Discussion - VGChartz vs. NexGen Wars

has anyone else noticed that the NexGen Wars sales figures have been slowly and steadily approaching those of VGChartz? I remember reading in their forums people saying how ridiculous the VGChartz numbers were and how we were massively undertracking the Xbox360's sales numbers, and massively overtracking the Wii.

They had Xbox360 numbers approaching 12 million IIRC and Wii well behind (PS3 also well behind VGChartz.

Well I just had a look today and suddenly their 360 numbers have been pulled to all be within 5% of VGChartz numbers.

Looks like more and more people might be beginning to trust this site's figures...

it seems they have even taken the ridiculously childish idea of ridiculing this site, it seems they're almost at the ridiculous neogaf level of censoring the word. I wonder if they're starting to feel a bit sheepish?

Anyway, congrats ioi, seems more and more people are backing up your numbers...

I'd post this on their forums, but I don't have an account and cannot be bothered creating one.

I use both as a reference point



And before you know it NPD will adjust their numbers in accordance to VGChartz :P



IMO NextGen Wars shouldn't even be taken serious, at least with regard to the provided sales data. It might be a nice discussion forum, I don't know.



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
