Why do other sites look down the noses at VGChartz????

Yes, when VGC launched, GAF and NPD spent about 6 months spreading whatever they could to smear VGC and hurt our reputation. A lot of it came from personal differences / jealousy (GAF) and business threat (NPD) and unfortunately a lot of it seemed to stick.

Luckily, a lot of that seems to have subsided these days and many can see VGC for what it is - a good, free source of reasonably accurate data - i.e good enough for 99% of people who want to know how well a game or piece of hardware is doing.

Sorry to hear that, ioi.

I love the community on VGC. Neogaf is just too large and anonymous for me.

And I think you do a great job at tracking!
