Fascinating. Do you have links to any of those threads on there? FWIW I enjoy VGC and do not intend to attack the site, but it is pretty obvious that regardless of intent the PS4 numbers and Xbox numbers are regularly mistracked (not always, but 'often' enough to be a trend) in opposite directions. X1 was overtracked, and PS4 undertracked. I just bear that in mind and it's useful to form an accurate analysis by contrasting VGC numbers with NPDs. We're all human, we all have biases whether we admit it or not. I am somewhat ambivalent towards Sony and negative towards Microsoft myself. |
I googled a few of the old gaf threads on ioi and it appears the site was banned, not because of arguments he had over there but because of users on the site constantly quoting the innacurate vgchartz numbers and turning every thread into a fanboy war. Don't know if it's true but if that's the case then it's unfortunate for VGchartz.
