They're a walking contradiction though. First they say Infamous has 1 million pre-orders and then when that turned out to be not true they just changed it to 1 million copies sold like 10 days later.

I'm a little weary of answering any posts now because they could be quoted later as proof I'm defending this site.

They could be wrong OR they could be right. All I know (for me personally) is that they were close enough for me to consider them again.


So all any site has to do is be "close enough" a couple of times for you to consider them legit? Even if the other times they post BS?

Not really, no. I pick and choose, like most people do. Some things interest me and some don't. The odd thing is, people seem to know more about this site than I do. I only ever see what they post because it gets put up on N4Gs. I never just go to their site to find articles.

So if a site is "close enough" towards something you want to hear then it's legit?

'Legitimate' isn't a word I'd associate with my motives. 'close enough' is all I need to take heed. And it's not something I 'want' to hear. That's projection on your part.

The site clearly has an agenda with other articles. When it comes to sales they don't have any insider knowledge but use educated guesses which everyone who is following sales is able to do. There is really nothing "inside" than this.

Oh, without doubt there's the tone of fanboyism about their other articles. It's the numbers I'm more interested in at the moment though.

Why the interest in there numbers though, surely after being shown to be so badly wrong repeatedly it is time to simply write them off for what they are, a really obvious and poorly put together fanboy site.

Well, you say that, but for me (personally < someone will notice this at some point) I think they were close enough last time. We'll see if they're close this time with the added bonus of a Titanfall reveal at E3 ... Or so they say. That's a difficult one to get out of if they're wrong.

Close enough to consider them having insider knowledge?

Only if the numbers are right. Anybody can use educated guesses and end up right in some cases. But when they're wrong you just ignore it?
