NeoGAF in general is a joke except they sometimes provide useful information.

So you are saying the title could've just been "NeoGAF sales-age is a joke"?

Seems about right.

I like how those guys seem to think that the VGC numbers aren't accurate enough for their brilliant analysis while they obviously don't get even the most simple things about sales-age. Simple concepts like comparative installed bases or killer apps seem for example over their comprehension each time they speak about the actual situation of the WiiU. Reading the amount of stupid hate this console is getting there and lack of any strong understanding of this market on that forum is pretty blattant at this point. I think these message boards have been incredibly overrated for way too long as most comments there, are now mediocre at best and often pure trolling as the moderation seems to be more and more inexistant.

What do you think?

I think a link to illustrate what you are referring to would help enormously.

Well VGchartz numbers aren't really accurate. Tis true.

They undertracked DS software by a whopping 200million.

Agreed

They have the 360 as 78.0 when didnt ms say they sold 78.2?

Ah. I can understand why a Wii-U fan may be a bit miffed with sales-gaf.

Gaf isn't good with sales merely because they only look at official numbers. VGCHARTZ is pretty off sometimes but to completely through out its numbers is just silly.

Ironically you can have better sales discussion there than here, and to be accurate, the numbers you discuss there are not estimates ...

I think it's a pretty horrible place.
