And years ago a developer (forgot which one) said that people shouldn't take VGC seriously because VGC numbers of their games were way off. I want to say it was Factor 5/Free Radical or something. That was the begining of when I started to stop taking SW sales to mean anything.

Ok Max, then please tell me: in your opinion, what does VGChartz do differently from its "competitors" (similar services like Media Create, Famistu, Box Office Mojo, BARB, etc.) that makes it exceptionable/unreliable and why such differences are key to the reputation and credibility of the system?

I knew I would remember eventually. It was Capcom who said it in late 2008 early 2009. The reason I said it was the other two because I remember it was after a financial bomb. I was thinking it was a Ps3 title but I'm thinking it was a Wii title now and Capcom sad they didnt even ship as much as VGC said were sold.

What do they do differently? They report in territories they have absolutely no data for because they try to report global numbers. Their competitors report in specifc markets. Their competitors have much more resources (man power, money and data) for smaller areas.

everybody is wrong sometimes, and i would like to see a source here

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
