There were several others, actually, when I started coming here in 2006. I actually kept all three sites bookmarked to see how their numbers changed and I found pretty quickly that VGC's numbers seemed the most logical and not just based around a counter.
At that time the forum was much smaller, harder to find, and just not that big of a focus. The other sites were nexgenwars.com (which still seems to exist) and one other that I thought was called Console Wars but can't seem to find.
