LOL! It's a joke. Just mocking all the people that come to these sale threads. Every single fucking week people come to these chart threads and complain about how undertracked the PS4 is. I'm honestly just sick of it at this point. If it's widely accepted that it's undertracked, then you don't have to be the 150th person to say so. Or maybe it's not as undertracked as everyone wants it to be. Everyone here acts like it's a fucking crime that a sales prediction website isn't spot on. Just deal with it. It doesn't have to be the main point of discussion every time charts are released.

Yes it does, when it's painfully obvious. This website is supposed to estimate sales but when amateurs can see the sales are way off then there's something wrong.

Whilst not without statistical analytic skills myself (having studied them at university), I doubt my own ability to construct a site with anything like the ball park accuracy of VGC.

However, I am now greatly looking forward to seeing what you can come up with!

How is that relevant? I never said I wanted (or could) create a site like this. That does not remove my right to criticise it...

Do you think game reviewers have to be able to create the games they are reviewing?

I edited above.  this whole "its a flop if it doesnt sell millions in the first week" needs to stop.  Most games do not work like that.  

I agree with that. But there is a huge difference between games like Lords of the Fallen and Bound by Flame, or Hellblade which expressly stated that they break even at 300K, and games that are made by larger studios, published by mega publishers, and whose promotion budget is higher than complete costs of those 3 games combined.

So like these?

First Week Sales

InFamous - 260k
LittleBigPlanet - 110k
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune - 30k
Resistance - 14k
Heavy Rain - 25k
Resistance 2 - 240k

Lifetime Total

InFamous - 2.81
LittleBigPlanet - 5.53m
Uncharted Drake's Fortune - 4.79m
Resistance - 4.26m
Heavy Rain - 2.86m
Resistance 2 -2.42m


And this is an incredibly small list of looking for less than 5 minutes.  This list will grow majorly if i continue looking.  So according to some people, all these games were flops.  Thats something i expect people have little knowledge on the subject to say

Eh, those Resistance and HR numbers are JP only I'm sure...

Also, Uncharted 1 had a broken street date in some stores and so did LBP.

Nice week, most platforms up in HW or SW or both, but we know this is just the beginning, numbers are growing quickly.
