Haha, I forgot about NexGenWars. I found that site first, and went there for a day or 2 and was dumbfounded as the numbers changed before my eyes, then I found this and never went back. Actually, every couple months I go back there for a good laugh.

I second that

I think the longer this generation goes and the more apparent that our numbers are within 5% of NPD and worldwide sales then this site will be thought of as trustworthy. Really the first time i heard of this site I thought of it as another nextGenWars website. lol

Same here actually, but NexgenWars is a wart on the web and shold be abolished! Good for a laugh though...

They've started using Vgchartz to correct their numbers recently is what I've heard, but they're still off by a few miles...

I think it will time to prove its validity. I do not use any other forums so I really cannot say what people think of it.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Good to have you back Rubang. Here VGChartz is hated by most Sony/MS fanboys for some reason. They say "don't believe all the BS you read on the internetz..."

Yeah, because you are not posting on an internetz forum ;>

NPD, Media-create, etc are all guessimations, VGChartz is no different there.

The bias I think comes from VGChartz being an unofficial site. Now if the industry started paying for the information, then people would except it MUST be accurate, even without any other change.

excpet they have access to alot of real info VGcharts is just a guess that changles their numbers once those guys release theirs.

Plus those guy dont have site that is seen a huge bais fanboy domain.

thats because all other gaming forums see this place a a wii fanboy site.

and NOT counting half a million PS3 sold in India does not help your casue.

Based on what I have seen, people have more of a problem with the community than the actual data. Let's face it, you would have to be blind not to see the Nintendo bias on this site. People tend to link the community to the data, which then leads to the belief that the data is in favor of Nintendo. Furthermore, people tend to think that the PS3 is overtracked; the reason is because of this ridiculous notion people have that the 360 is blowing the PS3 away. That, however, isn't even close to being true. Then there is the sold to retailers thng -- the numbers that the companies themselves give out -- which causes confusion and doubts in our data.
