Well, I recently learned this term and it's meaning: USP - Unique Selling Point.
This site's is the sales data. Alas, that data is much more restricted now. Without that data, this is just another games site, and there it scores low on usability, news, reviews. There were two things that made me come to VGChartz: sales data and Hot Topics. Both are much worse than before. Now I come from habit......
The potential for controversy exists still (Nintendo is doomed, Sony is losing money continuously, Kinect is not it), and on this site controversy was based on numbers, which made it different from any other sites. Not anymore.
Interesting analogies can be drawn between VGChartz monetizing and the Games Industry Monetizing. Let's see how this last controversy plays out. |
The bolded resonates with me extremely. I also think the site is just way too complicated for its own good. The blue and white days everything was simplified and interesting...now it's kind of a chore to navigate, add in the fact that the data has become restricted to non-paying memebers and you have a problem

I agree with both posts. This is exactly why the forum is going downhill. I started to visit this forum cause of the sales charts and stayed because of the users. Both things are worse now. No charts, no controversy, no funny or even interesting posters, like Dmeister, Soriku and others. Now I visit just to peek at the few numbers left. Pity.
