Those are just blogs. I would not call that gaining respect in the industry. Besides, those websites have been referencing this website for at least 6 months now.

Since it is becoming a well respected site, I think they should rate video games themselves, rather than have crappy ratings for games made by fanboys. That or just put down its Metacritic rating or something.

nice to see vgchartz get respect, lets hope the popularity continues to rise.

Yes teh whole Weblogs network seems to be referencing VGChartz. The amount has risen sharpely lately and I am excited about that.

I heard VGChartz mentioned on Infendo's podcast as well.

I am so sick of people quoting 3 month old US numbers(old NPD crap) as somehow a relevent total for a game. IGN is particularly bad about this. Sometimes they mention Japan but here is the only place I ever hear about Europe except when the companies themselves report.

The american numbers are often used to reinforce the misoconception that only the 360 sells games. As the other two systems start to gain some repect in the media then people will naturally attempt to searchout worldwide data, and this is the only place to get it.
