That's why I like this site so much. With the exception of some users most people on this site know how to make smart and reasonable comments. Most users do explain why they don't like a certain game or console, they don't say "this sucks". When I checked some comments on other sites the amount of ignorance shocks me sometimes, that's why I rarely visit them. 

I found funny when some users on this site say that we are full of fanboys who only criticize but I rarely see them at the same level as other websites. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they're fanboys, as long as they give reasons as to why they dislike a certain game or console.


I partially agree with you.  I do agree that people are far much worst on other sites with why dont like something.  For the most part this site seems to do good about that and that is partially because of the rules.  You can still tell fairly easy what system most people likes.  Sometimes I feel like people are trying to sell me a console I already own :P lol  But that is only a few people.

Yeah I think that all the time when the "major" gaming websites start talking about sales. They never actually know about the reality of the industry in terms of sales and business.

Overall we have a great community and that's why I'm still here after 4 years

Wait the Wii U hasn't sold better than the Wii though :| But apart from that true ;)


I thought it sold more at launch than the wii in america?  Maybe I'm mistaking that with software so yeah I'm most likely wrong on that.


According to VGC in the US:

411k for Wii U

463k for Wii

Thanks.  I must've mistaken it with software or something.  Glad someone corrected me.

This is why I'm still here despite the numbers being off a lot. They give us a general idea at least, and we talk about everything to do with sales. People on sites like IGN and N4G just look at everything that's posted there and eat it up without considering all factors.

Talking like a man of science! Were your taught to be critical, analytical, and malleable.

 

The site is certainly more informed than many on GAF, and IGN used to only show sales regarding the USA only which annoyed me years ago as it incorrectly made the PS3 look like it was dead.

What a terrible generic statement. Do you mean to say Vgchartz is more informed than Neogaf?


How about N4G is filled with Sony fans that mainly want to see Nintendo fail.


So this whole thread is about N4G? That site is a sham. Take this statement to gaf and see how long you last ;) Unfortunately, Vgchartz is permabanned from Neogaf so you wouldn't get too far with this thread!

I think it's a fair statement. Most games sites are dedicated to games in general. This one is games, but specifically games as a business. I think it attracts more informed posters. I've creeped it since the last wave of systems were launch and recently joined because I wanted to share in some discussion. I'm an investor and recently started investing in games companies. I find the discussion on this site useful. Other sites tend to be much more fanboyish.


Welcome to vgchartz haha But yeah I agree with you

 

Thanks!

What does bold have anything to do with underlined?

Your logic truly escapes me Maverick.

The bold also shows the underlying pettiness and immaturity in GAF leadership. We have no such forum-wide taboos
