So if this site wasn't here then what? For the most part the site can give a good estimation within a 10% margin of error on hardware and big name software titles.
If this site didn't exist then you wouldn't have any clue as to how well a game or console was selling for the majority of the year unless you paid for the data, and even then it'd be on a region by region basis. No one attempts to present world-wide video games sales data for free, except this site.
Can it be wrong? Yes, but so can all the top tracking firms with larger data sets, and just like them, it adjusts numbers. Only difference is VGChartz does it openly so you can see when the adjustments are made.
