IT IS NOT UNDERTRACKED. If the sales
aren't going the way you want them to
be, that does not mean it is
under-tracked. My God, I am sick of
hearing this from butt-hurt VG chartz
users.

there is no digital sales you dumb shits

But querty's comment looks like it was in response to this:

 Olivernintentoal (1 day ago)
Europe has to be undertracked. There's no way it sold a third of the US first week.

 

It's a claim that Europe is undertracked, with nothing posted to back it up. Had some info backing the claim been posted, I can't speak for querty but perhaps it wouldn't have come across so annoying.

(Edit to add) The previous comments all carried figures from Nintendo and NPD to back up their claims of undertracking, which is nothing to complain about in my eyes.


has something to back it up, Nintendo's 2.8mil figure. But thats all, if europe is undertracked, its only going to be by 20k-80k, im sure it did digitally well.

It's a site whose purpose is to predict and track HW/SW sales. If they're wrong, and people have some source that can help get them right, it'll be posted.

I am willing to bet Bret/ioi pays for NPD numbers and possibly other data gathering sources on video game sales. I really doubt forum goers bring him tons of new information. Maybe on a rare occasion.

I have no problem with that if they can back up their claims with solid evidence--i.e. actual hard numbers from a reputable source.

Beyond that, I fully agree with the OP.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

And I'm sure he appreciates any additional sourced information he can get, especially in countries that're a bit more hard to keep tabs on.

I agree with you 100% that T-bone is not a reliable source for video game sales tracking.

My point was that bolded post did not contain anything in it to back it up. Doesn't matter whether the claim is factually correct or not; if there's no evidence posted to back it up, it'll look like BS and will rub people up the wrong way.
