Ok, ioi, Crazzyman has asked if VGChartz has shown favoritism to Gears 2, and here's his hypothesis:
He says that with the "2m+ sold" statement by MS or Epic(or whoever released it), might cover the entire weekend, 3 days, instead of 2. He believes that you might have added the extra day to buff Gears 2's numbers(because he assumes their "2m+" quote indicates that the game barely cracked 2m in all 3 days combined). This is according to his original and subsequent postings. It obviously never occoured to him that the quote might mean 2.3 million, or VGChartz might have actually been off by +- 10%, and he immediately jumed to the conclusion that the site "cheated" by adding an extra day, to reach the 2.1 million figure.
He then says that the site wasn't fair to LBP, because instead of adding the pre-release numbers and the actual release week, you seperated the two weeks. He believes that "Week 0" or the week before the official launch, where the game enjoyed a limited release, should be combined with the real week 1, to form some sort of super week 1. I'm not sure if he believes this would be cheating, but he believes that if his original Gears 2 assertion is correct, then LBP deserves equal cheating consideration, in the form of super week 1.
Now, of course, his questions, accusations, and especially his logic make absolutely no sense to me, what-so-ever, and I highly suspect it is the reason that he was face-palmed for the first half of this thread.
If I were you, boss, I wouldn't worry about addressing his concerns anymore than I had to.
...and yes, it's actually as confusing a question as I've ever had to paraphrase.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
