But clinging to the auto-update thing, and showing javascript code like you're on to something, is plain silly. Have you never heard of stats like McDonald's opens a new restaurant every three hours? You really thing thet do that, every three hours on the clock? It's an average people! The same thing could be done with sales data on VGChartz, and as long as the data was good, and the numbers and assumptions where corrected when approriate, it would be neither better nor worse with an auto-update than without. |
The reason people bring it up is that it's just a trick used to give the site a false sense of credibility. "Hey look, the numbers just went up!" But really the actual numbers themselves aren't based on any credible data and they're going up just because they always do that.
