GAF doesn't think that VGChartz has reliable numbers despite ioi's constant reminders that VGC numbers are all estimations. VGC was banned on GAF because of their "misleading numbers".
Now VGC users hate GAF because of all that :P

Is it really that, or is it more that the estimations are then used to drive argument/superiority threads? Genuinely curious, I've never gone to Gaf, so I'm in the dark.

I hate them because they hate us. Simple really.

Not to mention the UI and design of Gaf is just.....ugh.

I'm sure i could come up with something better if I spent a few hours/days on Youtube, but luckily ioi did it for me! (And he added the sales, which, although in-accurate, at least gives you an idea of what they are)

Im just asking this simple question since I see each forum making fun of each and call each ither crappy

so can someone explain to me why?

If I'm not mistaken ioi (owner of this site) was a member of neogaf who made suggestions of how they could do things a little better there, he got flamed and told to fuck off and make his own site if he thought he could do it... so vgchartz was born and he did what they suggested o/

I think that's about right.... maybe!

I don't know if this is 100% true, but I still wonder... Why do site owners get all touchy and angry when someone points out things that can be changed on their site? it's the same thing on a couple of other sites I've been on.
