That last paragraph, you know I hate to be mean about this, but if you know your English skills in large blocks of text to be poor, don't beat around the bush and come out directly with what you mean it will be far easier for people to read.
Regarding the sales figures and this comment "Νο the important thing is vgc to not have huge error in sales, especially when it can be avoided..." Figures here try to be within a percentage margin of error so even if you think the Vita sales were currently off by 1million units, it would mean an error of less than 9%, I'm not sure but you do seem to be taking it slightly personally perhaps from the comments from others here that you feel the need to prove you to be 100% accurate and sadly the thing is Sony haven't been fantastic with the Vita sales figures so you can't expect to ever get the figure exactly right.
Regarding the email you sent to ign asking for exact information on where they got their figures, how did you even begin to word that? I don't mean to come off harsh to you, but a professional company is unlikely to explain their findings and figures to other gaming journalists or experts, even less so a 17 year old who isn't happy with number inaccuracy about the Vita (as others have pointed out, sadly at this stage getting an exact number of Vita sales is like trying to figure out exactly to the millisecond time of the person who came last in a race, it isn't a number which matters a huge amount regardless of how high or low it is)
But on topic I tried to work out some of what you meant in the OP and you've clearly put a lot of thought into what you're getting at here, I would say if you are going to try to pass along some of this work to Brett on here to have him look over the Vita numbers (when he gets time to look over and adjust any numbers) maybe spend a little bit extra time giving it a proof read since otherwise a lot of your hard work could be lost if people can't understand it.

Instead of just impeaching me, take the paragraph and tell me what you don't understand, to fix it and help me to improve my skills, why I'm supposed to decipher what people can't comprehend?
What's so difficult? Explain me, you don't make a person better if you just scathe him, omitting to show him his mistakes...

What you're asking me for here is a language lesson, I'm afraid that if I pass someone on the streets who has pissed themselves and I say "whoa you've pissed your pants" that doesn't mean I'm going to bring over a change of pants and try to figure out where it all went wrong.
Could offer you a tip, like I said in my first paragraph reply to you, don't beat around the bush because in your second language it doesn't work
"I give strong misgivings about its misguided huge adjustment up back in April (what was the reason about that, I have pointed out why, due to a misapprehension but also by the constant suffocating pressure of a specific member, that member where did he based his claimings? Nowhere, groundless assumptions, at least assumptions in order to be made need a base/evidence)! And you had praise that member for that..."
"I think the April adjustment was a mistake (Mikerox says I'm wrong, I'd like to see why he thinks that) Mikerox doesn't rock"
Just picture English as a sword you haven't quite perfected, don't swing it about fancily! just stab your points out directly and it might make slightly more sense.
- I'll expect the tuition fee or a "thank you" in the mail, if that isn't coming don't ask for another lesson, because emailing and messaging people on the internet "Do this for me!" with nothing in return is entitled mania, and I can't stand that.
