So the weekly sales numbers may or may not be totally right and users discuss it, that's mostly the point of the site right?

No.

This is mostly the point of the site:

"What VGChartz offers is timely data that isn't meant to be 100% accurate but be in the right range. We don't compete with the likes of NPD, GFK or ChartTrack; we offer a service that is totally different"

"To some users of VGChartz data, knowing that a game sold 7 million copies on day 1 with a margin of +-0.5 million and having that data hours after the end of the day is more valuable than having a more accurate figure two days later. These are the people who understand the idea behind VGChartz and what I am striving to achieve with the service." - ioi

Ok, maybe I am not getting it, but I don't see what I said contradicts anything you posted?
