So, what's the deal with Go Nintendo and VGchartz?

@Bitmap Frogs: I don't think NPD credibility has anything to do with the issue here. As far as i know, NPD haven't gained credibility by telling everyone their sources.
The problem is that people don't like the data VGC offers (despite the other trackers telling the same as VGC). The same thing that has made VGC interesting, is the same that makes people want to criticize VGC; the current change in domination in the market and Wiis runaway success. If VGC would have been born at the start of last gen (instead of this), the site would have been more widely accepted by this time in the sites life, but it wouldn't have been so interesting. It's the same thing as it is with the "blue ocean" software on Wii. When games like Singstar and Guitar Hero were introduced last gen and became hugely popular, everyone was just happy and saying "it just cool to have the type of games", for the games being on the platform that continued the success from the previus gen, while today, anything with "Wii" in its title, causes everyone to freak out.

 

Nah... what hurts VGC is credibility and transparency is one way to fix it. CONSOLE WARZ has no relation to it besides the morans on this forum dissing the numbers whenever they don't like them.

From the outside all you see at the moment is some guy that posts a lot of numbers every week which get retrofitted whenever an stablished tracker (like NPD) publishes data.
