Psssst...he took over the software charts not that long ago. By saying VGC is bullshitting the numbers, you're litterally saying HE is bullshitting the numbers.

I know that, but I do believe that they have no source. Just educated guesses that sometimes succeed more often don't.

This, compounded by their asking the users here to gather official numbers so that they can go back and correct their guesses just solidifies my belief. 

Fuck off. No, I don't.

I'm happy to accept all sorts of criticism for the software sales since taking them over. It's been a mighty learning curve and I've made plenty of mistakes over the last couple of weeks. You can criticise those mistakes or argue that the extrapoaltions from the samples we receive are well off all you like, but I'm not going to be accused of making the figures up on a whim on our own website. I'm doing my best and hope to improve the accuracy of the figures over time and to make timely adjustments based on official data once I'm given that functionality.

You have a point with sales of unreleased games. But asking for official numbers isn't an issue, it's a plus, and something we should thank him for because ioi rarely bothered with adjusting the numbers and matching them with the official data.
