This information is appreciated.
I just thought that you guys were trying to get the sales numbers in with more accuracy.

I'm also waiting for the preorder numbers even more especially the next one since we get to see the effect of the 2 Halo 5 trailers, I don't expect a big boost but an increase of more than usual.

We've had a lot of threads about sales again today, so I'll reiterate - all of the VGC staff are as frustrated by the lack of sales as you all are, but there's only one person who can do anything about it (be that uploading new numbers or training an existing staff member how to do it so that it's not all on him) and that's Brett.

Making threads on the forums or directing complaints at our social media accounts or the official contact e-mail address doesn't do any good - it's all managed by me and I'm very much aware of how everyone feels about this already!

If you want to get in touch with Brett directly his e-mails are bwalton@vgchartz.com and brett@gamewise.co


Is everything okay?  I get worried that he might be sick or something?

So 3 weeks after ioi promises to get things straight he basically haven't release 2nd week of data... He intends to catch up by doing nothing? Or just empty promises?

plot twist. People aren't genuinely concerned with the numbers, just trollin'.

Maybe he's building a machine so his mind can tell the actual numbers of the consoles (I'm getting desperate, so I just hope that).

If VGC made millions of dollars per day I'd bail too :P

I really doubt this site makes more than $100 per day with busy traffic and that's being generous, but what do I know.

But we should let ioi enjoy his millions for some time, he worked hard for those!


Aquamarine put some research and the site makes 300 a day.

Or maybe he is devising a way to have the numbers less than 30% off.

Great to hear! I knew that there was a good reason for the delays. Well..., this is the first time of me hearing about Brett (sorry everyone, I have never heard of him until this point), but I do realize that what he was doing must have been for the right cause. That being said, I think it is safe to say this person was giving contributions in positive strides.

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