Forums - Website Topics - Question about sales data access

I notice that only the first 20 weeks of sales are available for any particular piece of software listed on VGChartz. We also have the current total, which is useful enough for most conversations when used in conjunction with weekly numbers, but if I want to compare Call of Duty 2 (both SKUs) to New Super Mario Bros. Wii at the 30-week mark, I can't do that.

What I want to know is this:

Are there any plans to make weekly numbers past the 20th week somehow accessible to regular members?

I want to be clear, here: I'm not coming into this with the attitude that I'm entitled to this data. I know I'm not, and it's displayed at the discretion of the people in charge of running the site, and there may or may not be plans in motion to get this data visible again. I'm inquiring out of curiosity because I like the data and enjoy using it for conversation on the forums (like settling bets or updating my Top 50 topic or what have you). This is an expession of my appreciation for being able to access the numbers.

Agreed.

They replaced the graphs by adding cumulative sales...when 3.0 launched, the game pages had data for weekly sales for EVERY week since the game launched....now it has been taken away.



Bumping this in hopes for an answer.



Remember when ioi proposed a "pay to see 20th week onward data and other premium features" idea.

I think what your seeing is the first step towards starting that Khuutra

Which is fair enough, we were told it would happen eventually.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Well it was also mentioned that people of different levels might have access to that information..... 6 not being high enough would make sense I guess, but I'm not going to assume tat until there's some kind of answer.

Just bumping this one more time.

Does this have something to do with VGChartz Pro?

Probably...but the lack of answers is kinda disheartening tbh...



ioi said the graphs would return didn't he ?

Maybe, but I'm not even asking about graphs, here. Just the numbers past the 20th week.

Well you can find out these numbers when the graphs return. (ioi said end of September)

I liked that you could see all sales for every single week even past week 20, but I guess that is a future VGChartz Pro feature.

VGC 2.0 only supported the first 10 weeks, so if we get the graphs back, the sales data will be superior to the old model.
