There are no issues. Both the Japan preview hardware projections and the 600k projection figure for PS3 have been addressed elsewhere - check my post history. Nothing that he said was factual - he said why do I have a right to criticise selective and inflated reporting by Sony because we made projections that have been exceeded. They are two different issues. If we were under-reporting our final PS3 figures each week then you could ligitimately make accusations of bias or whatever but that isn't the case. What Sony are doing is twisting figures and selectively reporting to the press to make somethign sound more impressive than it is - that is immoral and very unprofessional. I have every right to criticise their actions, the fact that PS3 slim exceeded my initial forecasts doesn't stop me from doing that or make my point any less valid. He is getting close to being banned because he is making things personal and suggesting that VGChartz is somehow acting in an unprofessional and biased way, which is a serious accusation and something I do not take lightly. Also, this is 100% a dictatorship - it definitely isn't wise to start making personal attacks towards the site owner, general respect and forum etiquette is the least I expect if you want to continue to post here. |
I thought you were joking about banning me. Im not saying we cant be critical, i meant the PR is obviously sony boasting and will always say only positive things.
I dint mean you cant respond or critique figures numbers from anyone, even the console manufacturers, thats why we all come here, to read and discuss the numbers you tirelessly accumulate for us and we are grateful. But i also think its our right and the purpose of this forum to take in all info and the accuracy of past info and past analysis and extrapolate that on the whole. Which i merely did as its my opinion.
Im not blindly bashing your work or your figures or even your right to express you opinion on other data, im simply responding to your post, from one human being to another, which is the purpose of forums regardless of title, we should be alowed to comment on active postings, if you post we should be allowed to discuss maturely and intelligently with opinion without being harsh, rude, or personal...which i have done.
If expressing opinions to "mods" or "site admins" who post on matters is frowned upon because you wish to post and for all of us to nod along without engaging in debate or respectful opinions or disagreements, it will become a sad day at VGchartz.
