You've never heard of GfK Chart-Track? Or IHS and IDG? Well.... that says a lot doesn't it. Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo subscribe to them as does pretty much every organisation within the video game industry. If you don't know what you're talking about then why even bother trying to defend the site? 

The reason I joined here was to participate in the COMG pre order thread. I never joined here for the bogus sales numbers. 

Like I said, I haven't seen any mention of those in any game related media, blogs, forums, gaming magazines, ect.  You sound a bit like a disgruntled former employee with this site with your repeated criticisms of it. You barely post in the COMG pre order thread.

Take a look at this regarding GfK: http://abload.de/img/npdmarch2015finalt3yqu.png

Here's an example of Microsoft citing NPD, GfK, and IDG for their figures:

There's an Aquamarine post in GAF somewhere where she explains how Sony gets its PS4 sold-through numbers which involves NPD, GfK, IHS, IDG, and Media Create/Famitsu. However, I don't even know where to look and I wish I bookmarked it for reference...
