I don't really understand how anyone can doubt Vgchartz numbers, because only way you can get some sale information is from big 3 or NPD to compare and then go "bull".

Because vgchartz has been very unreliable in the past?

That's ok, our boy Pachter gave us props a month or so back. Pachter > IGN

The guy that said Xbox = 750k and PS4 = 1.2m for NPD? Nah i'm good lol but still, everyone knows VGChartz is just estimates.

VGCz sales numbers have quite a bit of error in them.

Vgchartz doesn't claim accurate numbers, it's an estimate. And I think it is the most reliable of its kind with a growing, vibrant and extremely fanboyish community (its true :P)

So, for that below average, videogaming website crew to dismiss vgchartz, is because they have a beef with something going in here.

Also, part of the fun is the slightly incorrect numbers.

Makes it exciting when official reports come :P

It is addictive, anyone disagreinge with that, miss the notion of online chatroom entertainment.
