And just so people know, I'm not denying that VGChartz may be overtracking. I just have this strong feeling that Sven just likes to talk without really knowing what he is talking about.

 

We all know that VGChartz is not as accurate on software sales (as it is on hardware) -- especially after a title has been in the marketplace for a while. But to be honest, there is no really definitive source of public data for this, unless it is provided by publishers.

I do find some things interesting. A lot of these errors seem to occur with Capcom titles (remember the RE IV Wii controversy). Capcom can't seem to settle on a strategy (or a story). And you have a Senior VP responding on message boards (who just over three years ago was working on the editorial side of Next Gen).

I wonder what its stock prices are doing? I would be dumping my Capcom stock (if I had any).
