| DMeisterJ said: He does have a point with the MGS4 article though. It was 1.5, then changed to 1.3, then ioi said it was more like 1.1 in the comments section of the sales data. That wasn't a good look. And neither was the whole Iron Man thing. But this guy is comparing NPD to VGC, but doesn't know that VGC covers all of NA, while NPD only covers the U.S. So he has to account for that. And ioi does adjust. But I think he read too much into the adjusting of numbers. I don't really know what to make of the article. He does make a good point of the fact that ioi freely adjusts data, but he doesn't make sense of the point. I'm confuzzed. |
Yeah, it's like "You adjust data, gotcha! That proves you don't trust your own numbers."
ioi has said from the start that NPD has much more sample data, and teams of people who collect that data. It's like hating ioi for not doing the impossible which he never said he would do in the first place.
Again, for me anyway, this site is about hardware numbers. They are right there big on the front page. Those numbers are always dead accurate. I'm supposed to be upset for NPD because I found those numbers out from ioi instead of them? Am I really even supposed to care how those numbers came into existance? No, only if I'm a vgchartz hater would I care about that. I just care that they are accurate and weekly. They are. Hardware is dead on, and the only place to get consistanly updated WW hardware figures.
Not to mention this site is free. I should write an article entitles "Why VGChartz is the best free thing on the internet."
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
