Hi guys I joined this site like 5 or 6 years ago well before the cosmetic makeover and I have frequented the site at a few times a week or at least a month. The numbers always used to be updated almost weekly and now the numbers can be as late as 5 or 6 weeks behind. Whats the deal why is there always such a delay now?

Welcome to Vgchartz.

You mean... Welcome to the new VGC where they wait for NPD numbers.

Some time in the next few weeks, we will get a load of numbers in quick succession, and be told updates will be better. And then 6 weeks of nothing will go by.

You forgottoadd the "rinse and repeat" at the end.

I thought with the last updates it would going normal again, but it seems this was a mistake

This website must have become a part-time job for Brett/ioi or he got tired of it and became a "I'll update when I bring myself to do it" thing for him.

Maybe one of the above is coupled with a resistance to let someone the responsibility of taking over the numbers or not finding someone to do it. There could be a "trust" aspect to this as well, like being careful to whom he shares the numbers calculations and stuff.

Welcome to vgz

Yeah this is strange but i expect numbers sometime this week.

Times have changed...
