The other trackers disagreeing has baring on the bet because when that happens ioi usually adjusts his numbers. Every game tracker, large and small have made mistakes and even ioi can do so, so when his numbers come up different from the others he might adjust his figures a bit when he takes into account which stores those companies track.

As for the second point, ioi is the one posting the figures so I assumed maybe HE wanted to use other numbers so people could stop calling him biased, as he's clearly not happy with it and if he wins some people may not give him the credit he deserves. I've not once called him bias and my very first post in this thread was aimed at people who did, and I told them it was foolish to do so.

Lastly, yeah we aren't on a Media Create site, yet ioi, Zorro and everyone else keeps posting their numbers. It was really a simple question and I don't think ioi claims to be more accurate than Media Create, perhaps even ioi sees them as a more accurate source of Japanese numbers. He openly admits that VGchartz is a growing thing rather than the absolute source. I didn't say they should use Media Create because they had different numbers. I simply asked which one they were using because the differences do show up from time to time. When I see ioi make a post saying "PS3 sold 50k this week, maybe Zorro was right!" quoting Famitsu numbers I do have to wonder if they decided to use another source for the sake of the bet. I wasn't reading this entire thread to find out.

I think you're arguing over something that just isn't there. I didn't say VGchartz numbers were bad or inaccurate and I don't care if they use those since I find them to be very good for the Japanese market. I wasn't attacking VGchartz, I wasn't attacking ioi and I wasn't attacking anyone or anything else. I asked a simple question which sent you into a hissy fit for no real reason. You're trying to derive some sort of deeper meaning that just isn't there.
