Are sales figures 'geeky'?

[TheWPCTraveler]

Analysis of sales numbers are geeky, there's no other way to look at it. Using sales numbers, review scores, tastes of the gaming populace, the publisher's push on the project, the dev's track record and speculating the impact of said game on competition more so.

And that's what makes me come back to VGChartz.

Also, this kind of thread necromancy would get this thread locked at one point or another (on other forums. Not sure about this one.)
