I didn't say Media Create or any other video game tracker was 100 percent accurate, including VGchartz. What I did say is that sometimes ioi adjusts the data and if three of the 4 major trackers agree on something I tend to side with the majority and it's not biased to do so. So I've addressed the points, I've actually bought them up in when responding to your question of why would they be using any other site than VGchartz. In the end I wasn't asking you because you're not ioi, Zorro or anyone else involved in the bet. Just a really annoying cheerleader that seems to want to start trouble for no reason. |
All trackers adjust their numbers, you just don't see it most of the time with other trackers, because they don't have the transparency of VGC. Actually what you said was: I may have missed it but which source is going to be used for this bet? VGchartz numbers fall right in line with ioi's prediction for this week while the other trackers favor Zorro. Did you guys agree on which one will be used, as I've seen all 4 Japanese companies numbers posted here. If it's a close race it could make a difference. Why would you ask that knowing that you're on VGC? The very question is pointless, since you know its going to be VGC data used on VGC, annd since ioi has better data of the sales than you, and unless he decides to change, based on his data, the numbers are what they are. So yeah you haven't addressed the point, since your entire argument is that the other trackers don't agree, but the fact remains, ioi has better data so he can decide whether the other trackers disagreeing is relevant enough to get him to change, until he does, the data is up, so there is no reason to hold back updating, just because you think his data may be changed, if it is, then the table can be edited.
