Other sites like VGCharts?

I was just wondering what the other types of websites that track gaming sales. Anyone know of any good/reputable/etc. sites? I was told about this place, http://nexgenwars.com/ But I'm not sure how good of a source it is. There's also NPD and Chart Track, right? I'd like to know what other sites are there so I can compare them all.

I don't have a lot of respect for that site (had a chat to the creator when it first came out). I think the numbers are fairly bogus, and it uses a silly "interpolation" system to keep the numbers ticking over, and to keep people refreshing the site. Probably making a mint out of Google AdWords ;)

Look at the (useless) graph on the main page for instance. Could show a lot more interesting things than that (i.e. monthly variations in sales, etc..).

I also used to visit (and still occasionally do) pcvsconsole.com -- which has some good threads on sales figures for each region. Nice tabulated figures, etc.
