That mod opposes it for a very different reason than what you are implying.

And look again, sony fans, MSFT fans, and Nintendo fans are all in this together.  MSFT fans are not the only ones saying insiderp is bad.


yes even sony fans would agree the site is bad (I still haven't seem they more off number than vgc yet) and I would agree they don't seem credible but not ban worthy.

But I just saw ms fans asking for ban while ps fans at most laugh of their numbers and disregard them (altough some believe they are precise like grumblergribber or something like that, while we still have some ms fans that belive mrxmedia and some that downplay power difference). But what overly defensive fans think shouldn't be the metric we use to say a source is malicious or not.

What the hell are you talking about? I'm still waiting to see if they're accurate over time. I saw this up hours ago but didn't post it because I'm doubtful of 7 million.

Why do people get so upset about this site? Speculation, calculation or just plain old lying? Who knows, but we'll never find out if we don't put them to the test over a decent period of time.

If true, it'd be insane. But I highly doubt it.

Who or what is insiderp o.O

First time I've heard of it.

Obviously the most trustworthy source on the internet!

Tone it down a few Ks and those seem like reasonable numbers.

Guess we will see what happens when Sony makes the official announcement. VGC and insiderp are both a best guess source, so i don't hang my hat on either one.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Reality isn't that far from those numbers. And it'll be worse for the Xbone.

That's pretty much how I see it. IF Sony have indeed hit 7 million then I'd be surprised if there wasn't an announcement soon.

Although I don't trust these numbers personally, certain users wanting to ban this site are a little over dramatic. Plus there are a few users who have yet to enter this thread (I know they will in time) and request a ban as well. Most likely because they're from a certain fanbase.

Regardless of credibility or not, it's not like this site is any better at times. They do adjustments in the millions several times a year. They under track/over track NPD almost every month and the pre-order data...damn, I wouldn't go there.

The fanbase excuse really doesn't cut it in this case, insiderp is the pure definition of a clickbait website and just doesn't deserve any attention.

This news even contradicts itself with another news from the same site. They posted this article before the one in the OP. Even if we for one second assume that in its first 7 days Infamous only sold preorders of the game, which already seems extremely unlikely, then there is still one thing that makes zero sense.

The first article said this:

We have gotten digital pre-order numbers for the game, which is a little over 190,000 units globally

The second article then says this:

** Around 150,000 copies of Infamous : Second Son were sold digitally.

...am I supposed to believe that 40k people just cancelled their digital preorder?
