Well I told ioi that the NPD January numbers will make people hate VGCHARTZ and call it unreliable;.

 Are our numbers really that far off?


 Nah it is more symbolic I guess.

Check GT bonus rounds, GT episodes and you saw vids about Analysts/Game publishers always say the same:

""PS3 will not sell out X360 one month this year in NA""....  And then you get the NPD numbers where PS3 outsold X360 in the first month of the year;..

I don't think that anyone can take us seriously, with a site that is spelled with a "z". Any kind of name change, that's actually spelled right would increase our seriousness tenfold, but that "z" will keep us in the minor leagues.
 

The Z doesn't help but I think there are lots of more important factors.

1. The ads have started to get more professional lately but the smiley and "no joke, you've won an Audi" ads make the site look like a joke. Whatever revenue they're making is not worth the damage to the site's fragile reputation.

2. Too much data is missing. Until every current gen game is up to date the site has no chance of being taken seriously. In all honesty the back catalogue should be done too.

3. Shipped to retailer numbers need to be shown alongside sold to customer numbers. Trying to explain that VG Chartz tracks sold to customers just doesn't seem to be working.

4. The look of the site is very unprofessional. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is but when you line VG Chartz's front page up against sites like IGN, Gamespot, CVG, etc it just doesn't compare.

why can't we pull a media create and have the domain vg-charts.com?

That doesn't exist yet? And m-create is taken seriously with the dash there, and we can still display our name as VG Charts, and look good.

 Hmmm, yeah that works... and it doesn't seem to exist, but how difficult and expensive is it to change the name.
