VGChartz has never been accurate anyway and always relied on external sources.

They use a prediction model to update the site and not a tracking model.

Anyone who actually takes this site seriously or looks at the numbers on the main page seriously are just fooling themselves.

The only official numbers come from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo via actual market research companies like IDG, NPD, Gfk, Media Create etc...

 

 

Oh and people above saying VGChartz is being stopped by external forces or something you cannot be more than wrong as VGChartz don't even use their numbers. They just make them up. 

Yes you make a point there we arent abusing others intelectual property like neogaf leaking numbers from npd which is illegal

I'm not talking about NeoGaf here. Why you feel the need to mention this I don't know?

In regards to your other point. I've seen them post sales for Europe as well before a game is released. 

 

You cannot honestly believe that VGChartz is accurate. All you need to do is look at one NPD thread on here Vs VGChartz numbers.
