Its not very effective.


Great minds think alike (See third post in thread )


Lol, we must be the smartest two guys on these boards!

Based on Achievement data I just dug up for a few games, VGC numbers seem fairly inline with what I would expect. Kinectimals seems a little high, and Dance Central might need to swap places with Kinect Sports, but other than that everything makes sense and is within 10% of my extremely rough estimates.

However, I wouldn't put more weight in what I say than VGC, as my estimates don't have a lot of thought put into them nor do they really take into account casual vs. core gamers despite me trying to sample casual and core games.

I'd love to see shipment numbers or NPD numbers for Week 1 though.

Above: still the best game of the year.

FWIW, Engadget.com just referenced VGChartz as well.

In the tweet he didn't actually say he was referring to Kinect sales. He just said

"LOL'ing at sales reports from VGChartz"

So is he laughing at the whole site? Or is there another tweet or something somewhere to indicate it was about Kinect?

The only big news lately was Kinect and Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Since Activision pretty much said we are spot on for Black Ops the only thing that makes sense is Kinect. Had it just been general sales he could have tweeted that ages ago.

Maybe he read a D21lewis boob post in the comments section? I bet. I think we got this guy all wrong people...

Yeah makes sense. i figured it's probably about Kinect because most of the tweets below that are, but he says "reports" and that's what makes me wonder.

Does anyone have a TWITTER account?

One of us should reply to him and link to him the "methodology" page from VGchartz? Because there are sources (retailers) and some "science" involved behind estimating sales.

I cannot concentrate with that sig of yours. I love it. :)
