I remember the times when the weekly sales were still updated regularly (which isn't that long ago). The discussions were first and foremost about how wrong VGC is going to be. So if the accuracy is questioned to such a degree, it's puzzling that there's suddenly so much demand to get those numbers. Especially because Amazon has surfaced as a quite accurate prediction tool for US sales while the rest of the world is an easy PS4 victory. And nobody cares about handhelds anyway.

This  is soooo right. The animosity every time the weekly numbers dropped really suck the life out of those threads. How many times did Brett have to explain the numbers were estimates within a 10% margin of error and people still bitched? Remember when the bar for PS3 was not updated on the front page and everybody spent weeks whining about it? Suff like that would have me not wanting to do sales either. Maybe we'll learn to have more gratitude for numbers.  

Oh so he stopped collecting the add money for this sales site?  I would say I'm not trying to be a dick, but it does irk me a bit.  We should be gratefull our traffic drives his add revenue ...perhaps I'm off base and he is only getting just enough cash to employ a few people and keep the servers running.

 

At the bolded, I can understand that.
