Forums - Sony - How does vgchartz get its data?

Every week, ioi goes to a Chinese restaurant on the corner of Maple and Elm street. He orders the egg drop soup. At the end of each meal, an old Chinese man gives ioi a pet Mogwai and a fortune cookie. Within that fortune cookie, ioi finds the sales figures.

Then, he eats the Mogwai.

I want a Mogwai.

 

If I were ioi I would throw it in a pool of water and then have a Mogwai farm.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I think vg chartz underestimate the psp Sells.

For example polyphonie claims that they allready selled fast 2 million Gran turismo portable and VG chartz says only 1.200.000.

How possible is it?



Because polyphony's figures are shipments and they include downloads.

Retail sales + PSN downloads (Polyphony) vs just retail sales (VGChartz).

Same with GT5 prologue.

Ah ok.

But why can't they have the PSN sales?



All of ya are wrong. The truth is that they ask the smartest most reasonable person to give his thoughts. He trows random numbers and that's how we get the sales.

As we all know the only match to the obove characteristics is our dear friend PATCHER. Thank god he is here to help us all



the truth is vgchartz does Satanic rituals to summon the numbers, they sacrifice virgins each week to get those numbers.

So that is why some the forum users here seem to disappear from time to time.
