Also how can the members at GAF can get away with this kind of comments against us without getting banned?

They kinda hate the site over there. If you read their rules thingy in the FAQ section, it says that mentioning VGC is a bannable offense. Not the kind of website I'd want to be on; where I can't speak freely.

"4. VG Chartzzzzz: Long history with GAF's sales-age. Numbers are never accurate. -- Posting anything from this site will result in a ban. Our numbers are right. Theirs are wrong. Period."

Is your name from the Dragonlance series? I love those books!

Anyway,

In case you didn't notice, I came here to talk about KZ2, and in the appropriate thread. Not about NeoGAF. Well, it is partly about NeoGAF, considering this is about the KZ2 match your clan and our very own VGC clan fought recently.

VGChartz is banned because of the bullshit its owner is running with the HW/SW sales btw, it has nothing to do with the forums afaik. Isn't it nice to have some free sources of numbers? Honestly, VGC isn't entirely accurate, but the numbers give a decent estimation of how each console is doing. You don't have to wait for the official numbers to get a general idea of what's going on. That seems like a good thing to me, not bad.

 Jeebus. Quoting is such a chore. Anyway. Kinda, but you'll get used to it... if you stick around, that is. You're more than welcome to stay, just follow the forum rules. =)

AFAIK (and I witnessed it myself) VGChartz' numbers are guesstimates edited after the official numbers are released. They are pretty close though. Check through the numbers yourself, and tell me that every one is way off. They give a general idea of how things are selling. And, as time has gone on, the "guesstimates" have gotten a lot better.


Yes, I'm only answering part of your posts. I'll leave the rest up to those who know more than me. ^_^

EDIT: Made the post a bit shorter. =)
