Seems like a bad move to me. There will be less and less people (including me) coming to this site due to this change and this will directly affect advertising revenues. Plus I don't see any serious company paying thousand of dollars a year for information they already have in their internal reports.

Oh and the missing data will probably appears on others video games sites.

Yeah this is a really bad move...

Actually, I think you would be baffled...even if 50 businesses (that seems very plausible, if not too low) buy this at $20,000 each, that's $1,000,000 per year...do you really think the miniscule amount of ad revenue lost won't be easily recovered by that?  Plus, having a more professional approach like this may very well get vgchartz name out there more than it already is, which could lead to even more people visiting the site, meaning even more yet ad revenue.

Well in all respect you missed the point.

Why would a company pay let's say 20,000$ a year for estimate numbers when they already have real numbers into their internal reports? And like I said, sooner or later the expensive data we have to pay now will appears on other video game sites for free.

Unfortunately this site will go down from now on...
