Wow. Truly a historic moment for the site. I always imagined something to this effect was coming, but I hoped it was still a few years off. I'll miss the retail estimates, if only because I like knowing how much is selling on the retail end of things. I hope we're still able to get a retail/digital breakdown from time to time. If only "official" charts are being uploaded, I guess that means we won't be getting ranked lists of the top 75 anymore? I mean I can't imagine you'll find official sales data for that many games, certainly not updated on a weekly basis. What will these official charts look like? Or do you just mean Media Create, NPD, and the like? Are there even official charts for all of Europe? And NPD is just US, so North American sales won't include Canada and Mexico anymore, yeah? And we just won't have data for "Rest of World" anymore, as there aren't official charts that I'm aware of tracking anything outside of Japan, Europe, or North America.
The end of an era...feels like we're heading into a dark age. I wish video game companies were more transparent with their sales data...
