Forums - Website Topics - An Official Update on the Sales Situation

I think I figured out where the hold up is:

Brett has signed up for The Apprentice, and is currently in the process of competing for 250.000 pounds from Lord Sugar that they will invest into Gamewise.
Since the updates are not done for a while, he must be doing very well, probably made it to the finals.

Good luck, Brett, VGC is cheering you on!

um can we get some reassurance here on not only the numbers but the future of the site just noticed jaywood is gone and everyone is making it sound like his future project is the second coming jesus idk it just feels like in the past 6-12 months the site in general is losing its touch and heading in a downward spiral to extinction

besides the numbers coming back are there going to be any changes to the site like there was when it went to 2.0? is the prediction league coming back, game database, IM, or even other new ideas being introduce whatcha guys doing for E3?

Why would one person be responsible for everything? This topic is a month old and nothing has changed

Because ioi is the owner, and probablydon't want to risk someone running away with his creation.

10 phreakin' days since the last sales numbers update and nothing! Not even a USA pre-orders update. This is getting ridiculous. We are mere days from hitting June without a single April sales week. Just chuck all the April weeks into the charts history and post numbers for the first week of May. Then we can have a mega thread and talk about a whole month's worth of sales in one go.

"Soon "for getting back to normal is sure looking more like, "not for a while yet".

You pretty much said everything I was thinking.



Thanks for the update. We do appreciate it.

We had NPD for April and all the weeks on Japan, but that wasn't really because of vgc

Which doesn't give us a global picture at all. US numbers are interesting and all, but to keep track of how the generation is going requires global data.
