It will be the beginning of the end for the site when the NX turns out to be only digital and we begin the start of the new age of not being able to track numbers.

Or maybe that is why ioi is constantly trying to be so late with numbers, so that we get used to it when everyone goes digital only.

The main appeal of the site is the hardware numbers rather than software though, no? So unless Nintendo are making a console that is available via download only...


Definetely true,and the current situation with numbers make lesser and lesser people(even members) visiting the site...

Just see alexa rank,vgc is collapsing, (well you can realize it from views/comments in the threads,some interesting threads flop and some other that in the past would be a rocket,now  are relatively mediocre)...it has fallen even further now,that the weekly chart and global hardware chart don't match with the  latest chart update which include more details,29th of august vs 1th of august and 8th of August for the usa,what a mess...

Sad because when mumbers were up with no or little delay,the site was very high...:P

A lot of people will be bitching on something it does wrong. Optical drive rumor being gone will be the easy target.

I thought the site was delaying charts was because ioi was implementing a system to track digital. Because last gen it was already getting big, and from now on the trend is that digital sales has an ever growing market share to the point it gets at least equal with physical. 

 

If Vgchart doens't find a way to track digital, the site will soon become obsolete and the data here will be worth very little.



johnlucas will return.



There will be much rejoicing, even if undeserved. And there will be much bitching, even if undeserved. And there will be much trolling, even if undeserved. In other words, it will be Tuesday.

I expect 16 doom threads.

I expect 16 threads proclaiming NX will become the best selling console of all time.


I expect at least 16 threads telling everyone why NX will sell without a doubt better than WiiU.

I also predict a lot of people getting hammered by  playing a drink game where you take a shot every time the words "innovative" and "unique" are mentioned. "Nintendo magic" will also be frequently mentioned.



VGChartz will become more active than NeoGAF for that one day!

The forums will start making threads over every little thing regarding NX.


Haven't they already? Like with every patent Nintendo makes or Other sites predictions on the NX or a pretty vague info which Nintendo gives. 



Pocky Lover Boy! 

If it's good: You'll see countless threads over-hyping it saying how it's the best thing to come to gaming ever with some hipster threads saying it isn't all that good

If it sucks: You'l see countless threads trying to justify it's existence no matter what, even if the NX ended up being a potato. You'll see tons of counter threads saying they knew all along it was going to suck plus another wave of "Nintendo is doomed" threads



I almost miss this thread because I'm so tired of NX threads that whenever I see those two words on a thread title, I simply skip it and look for something else. Fortunately, this isn't another NX thread like the rest.

Anyway, what I think will happen is that the Latest Topics page will be flooded with NX topics (at least a dozen without counting duplicates) from Nintendo fans, with half of them or so praising it and Nintendo and the other half being rant/doom threads claiming the destruction of Nintendo.

In the following days, the number of thread will only increase, but the subjects will change slightly.

So what do you guys think will actually happean to VGchartz when the NX is actually unveiled?

VGC will be closed because they can't decide if they count the NX-numbers to home consoles or handheld consoles ;)

Luckily, VGC doesn't make a distinction between home and handheld hardware in the sales graph
