Yeah honestly I dont think many people on GAF have any idea how good some of the sales discussion on here can be. Chartz numbers are off sometimes so the whole forum gets a bad stigma but in terms of understanding the business side of the industry we are far ahead of them.

Well, I've just risked a ban because I really don't like the way they assume people here are sheep:

If only some of you guys would visit the forum at a certain banned site, instead of thinking of the site as a whole, you wouldn't be surprised by this news at all. Forget the main site, the guys over there are pretty savvy when it comes to reality.

These numbers don't surprise me at all.
And before I get the usual reply: FORUM, not, SITE.

That's the thing, Gaf really doesn't seem to grasp that vgchartz numbers are estimates and that the members on vgchartz know this and thus also treat those numbers as estimates. This forum has a much better grasp on what is going on saleswise in the gaming industry then probably every other gaming forum you could find on the net and that's why I like it here.

People on Neogaf can be floored just by searching for some old NPD data and then reaching the conclusion that *gasp* X has never sold as little in Y as it did this year, while on here you would probably get nothing but "oh, that's interesting" for that.

But hey peeps on Gaf, keep feeling superior because this site is not always 100% correct.
