I just want to know why Halo Reach got a 50k adjustment on week 1 and Madden with evidence of higher sales has remained the same. I just expect some parity from this website. All systems should be treated equal in terms of sales.

There have been plenty of historical adjustments for all consoles and many different games from all consoles.

You are saying the site is biased.... it isnt.

Guess which console has been most habitually 'undertracked' when compared to NPD monthly releases...? the 360.

It happens, it isnt due to some bias, its just the nature of tracking and statistics.

I didn't suggest any bias from the site, users definitely but not the site. I just wanted to know why Halo could get a adjustment in under a week and Madden has yet to get one in 7 weeks.

simple because ioi thinks the Madden numbers are fine and the Halo numbers could be a bit higher.

besides that your comparison doesn't make much sense since we haven't got any NPD numbers from Reach, so all ioi did was fine tuning his own data.

No you are right you didnt suggest it... you came out and just said it, no suggestion.

"I expect some parity from this website"

Damn right I expect parity if this website is based around accurate sales figures then parity is a given.

Could NPD be off sure they could, just the same as vgchartz could be off. I honestly believe the PS3 Madden numbers are off and therefore I am advocating for them to be changed.

Do people really believe IoI is going to change the numbers because you beg him to do so? XD

Thanks man but I think it is clear that people do not care whether or not Madden in undertracked. Then again if it happened on 360 I wonder if we would have got a different response.

You have to be kidding. The ONLY threads we get about undertracking are relating to the PS3 and/or its games.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=116731&page=1

Selective rationalizing and generalization for the win

cherry picking for the win

ok ok... the vast majority then

ummmm i believe it would be cherry picking if he said "all undertracking is for 360 games" then linked to the Reach topic.

What that link was is disproving your generalization which is not cherry picking at all.

Which reminds me, was it FishyJoe from a while back who was OBSESSED with the term cherry picking. He would make all these claims and then when someone linked to something that disproved him hed start screaming cherry picking or something.....slightly off topic, but fond memories from the good old days, haha.

Anyway, claiming some type of bias is what ruined this thread. Its not bias i think its just lack of caring for MAddens numbers to be honest. Since its pretty clear its undertracked, but im sure there are plenty of games undertracked and im quite sure its not done purposefully.

Im also sure if people really cared to there are some number for all games that would appear to be overtracked but i wonder why we never see threads on that, haha.
