Do you have me confused with someone else?

I only post reputable data from organisations such as The NPD Group or GfK.  I don't post my own estimations with any authority. 


I haven't confused you with others. I am meaning you. Plus you "indirectly" enjoy the fame of the estimator and dare to question others; while having no guts to make a decent site that will post sales updates.


Are you sure you haven't confused me with someone else? 

As I said before, If I post data myself I make sure it is from a trusted organisation such as The NPD Group, GfK, Sony etc...

If I do post something that it isn't from a trusted source then it is most likely a forecast or an opinion peice. But I don't post estimates by myself. The only time I've done this in the past is for Xbox One shipment numbers but I've stopped doing that now because Microsoft refuse to update us on numbers.

Daredevil, what are you talking about. ZhugeEX is a reputable member who is also entitled to his opinion like all of us, within reason of course.

And who you described isn't ZhugeEX. 


Dude. Reputation is temporary. ioi also had this reputation in 2006. 

I may be wrong to describe him (the emstimation by him). I am challenging this guys guts to make a site with decent data tracking and make it popular. Because he is incapable of doing it and crying here to complain about the site admin.

As above, I don't post estimations with authority in the same way that ioi does for example. I only post data from reputable sources. For example the OP is an official press release from Sony and represents their actual sell through numbers to end users. The data is different to that of VGChartz who are not a reputable source as proved by the press release. (Not to mention past evidence when Chartz have been inaccurate on hardware and software sell through)

I don't need to make a website that has "decent data tracking" because this is something I don't need to do. It's better to leave it to the professional market researchers such as The NPD Group, GfK and Media Create who use POS tracking to accurately determine the sell through of Hardware, Software and Accessories in the Interactive Entertainment Industry.
