The amount of "credibility" we have no doubt lost because our PS3 figure isn't at 4.48m is frustrating, we are being accused of being a joke when it is the casual readers who are wrong. There are enough people who visit and use this site and I guess i'd like to see us stuck up for a bit more than we seem to be and am asking you guys to help. |
In looking at the big picture of this issue, the tracking of sales to consumers, not retail or other marchant establishments is the only way to go. If everybody just tracked what was shipped to retailers, then channel stuffing would probably be more prevalent, because websites like vgcharts keep provide an independent way to track sales without having to spend ten grand on some NPD research report.
Why would the critics want to encourage dishonesty in sales?
