Would be a waste of time. If they want to be ignorant then let them be as it is always better to take the high road. Although, can someone explain as to why they have such a "hate on" for this site?

Unreliable sales numbers from VGC.
|
It's actually because Brett (ioi) has some bad history with them, but I'm not telling that story...
|
That is not only that... the battle between gaf and ioi was happened before PS3 or Wii was launched... VGC was created by ioi to confirm to GAF that his estimations were reliable and accurate.
But the numbers in VGC never proved to be accurate (the contrary happened) and all the adjustments (overtracked, undertracked) help to make the VGC even more like a joke in GAF than a trusted source.
ioi was banned from GAF because it was a troll (sorry).
After that a lot of users in VGC caused trouble in GAF trying to use the VGC numbers there... this happened over and over so the GAF decided to ban any alussion to VGC numbers... they works only with OFFICIAL numbers released by companies or OFFICIAL trackers like NPD, Media Create, etc.
In fact the numbers in GAF was always more accurate than VGC... VGC uses a lot os numbers released by GAF to make adjustments here but VGC had a good weekly estimation... so it is funny and ioi adjust the numbers when the official one are released.
So if you want a good weekly estimation for the VG sales... use VGC... but it is that... only estimations.
I'm here because I like to talk about these estimations every week but VGC will be never a trusted source for sales  .
ANYWAY: Talk about vgchartz in GAF is not banable... use we numbers there is banable.
-This user was moderated for calling ioi a troll. Do I need to say more?
