Ok, I'm confused here. Some guy with a MGS4 avatar fails to give any outside data whatsoever, and is strictly going by a statistical percentage for one area of others...and you guys give him credit because he is stubborn and refuses to give on any point?
I don't really get into all this sales stuff, but I do know a few things about statistics, and how they aren't accurate.
This proves absolutely nothing. The only reason this thread is being taken seriously is because you guys are making it serious. There is no evidence here. Just inference. If the PS3 is over-tracked or now, or the 360, we won't know, ever. These are estimation sites, for Europe, not Others. VGChartz is an estimation site. These are estimates. Even with the shipped information, we are still estimating.
This kind of "gotcha" reasoning using vague marketing language wouldn't hold up anywhere. Without the original assertion here, everything shanbcn has wrote here is designed to discredit this site. Not only does he deserve to be owned by someone who does know something about numbers(if he's right or not), but he deserves to be banned.
This isn't a discussion. It's a pissing contest complete with biased and hatred aimed not at fanboys but at VGChartz itself, and it makes me sick.
In my thread yesterday, I told about how the PS3 fanbase make or break review sites based on percieved bias. Well, I didn't want to mention it, but VGChartz is the worst victim of the PS3 fanboy power. Early in the race, when the PS3 was selling quite poorly, Sony fans killed the messenger, as it were. The consequence was so much bitching about VGChartz, that the average casual forum goer took the fanboy complaining as a generally accepted fact.
The internet is such a childish and petty place. Human nature at its rawest. Spiteful and rude. That's how I'd describe this thread, if it has a point or not.
