Yay, insiderp. Top blokes.

Ban the site? I thought VGC was going to partner with them and have their headlines on the main page like N4G?

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.

That you were posting their news during the week and you saw confident about them didn't saw this post was yours my bad. Anyway even if You believed in it that would be no reason to invalidate the site.

Now wait just a second, why should we instantly throw this news off as bullshit, surely we should take it with a pinch of salt and......

yeah just kidding.

OT but if the staff here lose their marbles and ask me to be a mod (SO not happening), i would fucking permaban anyone posting insiderp, misterx, thuway or famousmortimer info in anything other than a "look at these fucking jokers" style post.


Did you apply?

 

You did, right?

Sigh we banning sites now :? I hope not. A bit silly to ban a site, as someone else said, might as well just ban every user then.

Hey... I got banned every month


You stink of lie... You are banned every report made or odd day (we can't have you running wild too long at a time).

Hopefully, it's true. Of course, I always take their numbers with a grain of salt, just like with VGC. And can people knock it off with this banning of websites nonsense. If you can't police yourself not to go into threads based on Insiderp numbers, or just immediately back out when you realize it is from Insiderp, then maybe you shouldn't be on this, or any, forum. You obviously lack self control.

"[insiderp]" in the thread title is enough warning to people that the information is unsubstantiated and speculative. I'm happy for mods to make that modification to thread titles and I don;t think bans or threadlocks are necessary.

Having said that. I think insiderp is more than likely close to correct re PS4 shipments. I would not be surprised for Sony's March Q report to indicate >7 million PS4s shipped. PS4 will be ~6.8 million sold according to VGC by 31 March. So insiderp won't be far wrong on that.

If we consider "extended launch week" then insiderp numbers might not be far off in terms of ISS sales and PAL hardware sales. According to VGC PAL sales for WE 22 March are >90K, so it could be close-ish to 90K again for WE 30 March; particularly if most of the PS4 boost for WE22 March was because of a supply injection and not because of ISS.

insidederp has been put up as a source multiple times here and it has been shown every time that their information is complete and utter fabricated garbage made up to generate site hits, why do people keep quoting it?
