I think his is based on a couple of stores, whereas I get mine directly from ioi. Source has to extrapolate his, meaning he puts his own spin (what he hopes) on the numbers some of the time. Hence being 200% plus off on Gears.

Why should he get credit when he subtly trolls consoles in a sales article??? It's starting to really annoy some people, and saying 'oh well why do you read it then' is just .. no, all members of this site should be able to enjoy reading the articles here, it's not suppose to just cater to Nintendo fans you know?

I like the Japanese preview, as do many others, we just wish bias was left out of it, which source is incapable of.

The America's preview get the numbers directly from ioi, while the JP preview gets them from stores, so no wonder he can't be all that accurate. His Gears numbers were probably based on some history/recent 360 sales data, and now that the 360 has less stock in Japan, he may have gotten stuff mixed up.

His comments might be a little too much, but he was still pointing out that Dark Souls did well against an established franchise.

And it is not only him that is getting old; remember the Tales second week? Everyone attacked him saying his numbers are bias, and surprise, he was right, and for unknown reasons the Japan Preview was barely mentioned that week, same COULD happen to Dark Souls.
