@brett,
I call bullshit on your first bullet point. No corporation will give inside information. Thats defonitly against policy. If you do have that info then someone could get fired. Now maybe you have someone like Ben leaking information or an employee at a local retailer willimg to talk about sales but i cant see much more. As for consumer data, well... Id like to know where that comes from. I dont see vgc willing to pay a survey group to pay consumers to collect legit data. Especcially on a global scale. Where are you being misleading? Well... (and this is my biggest gripe) how about on the front page. Anyone who visit the site isnt going to know someone named Brett runs the site, is a user named ioi and has made numerous posts explaining his methodology (or... why welse do you think you run into the same issues time and again? Its because the site is set up like a sales tracker along with vgcpro).
Now, I wont argue the accuracy of the numbers because thats your work and Im sure you will feel like Im attacking your work which would piss most people off.
I just cant see the ad revenue from the site being enough to support an office and a team. But hell, if it works then good for you. So, youve befriended someone from the NPD geoup then? Again, Im calling bullshit. Im sure NPD has policies they conduct their busoness under but if you knew a worker personally then Im sure they would gladly tell you more. Now, im not saying they would spill the beans and give up evrrything.
To be brutally honest Im here for the community and the sales reports that users collect and post here from the companies themselves
