The whole issue is there will always be discrepancies. It's a fact of life that if your not getting data from certain suppliers vs. other suppliers, you won't get full, honest information. Thats what extrapolation and correction is for. GAF will become irrelevant for sales information in 6 months. That's one of GAF's main draws (the only reason I go there). The main issue with GAF is that they bash and ban ioi because he "provides bad information", which is true if you consider NPD the golden standard of sales (which they aren't. They're the only data source we have, and there is no objection to their data). However, instead of trying to do their own thing, and counter his information by creating their OWN data and WORK on data websites and tracking firms, they just hold to NPD as being the god of videogames. Is VGCharts inaccurate? Yes. Is NPD and the GAF people? Yes. Media Create is about the only one that I really think is close to what's real, but even then, they aren't 100% perfect because they don't get 100% data.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
