Wow VGC just made massive adjustments, PS4 is up 2.0M, now at 32.3 million.

 


Adjustments + a new week, so it's still under. And the others still over.

I am good. I predicted TR numbers and I said it wont make the NPD top 10 games.

From GAF-NPD-thread:

"Thank you for telling me who ZhugeEx is! I will remember to avoid him."

From the guy we have all the numbers.

 

Can anyone tell me what actually Zhuge is? Why do people have problems with him or her?

Zhuge is a stellar guy, no doubt about it. Who knows why some had problems with him on Gaf (many more fairly noted that Zhuge's info has never been put into question, and the reasoning behind his ban on Gaf seems murky at best, but confirmed not to be due to any inaccuracy), but apparently they fed whatever load that was to Mulcair/George. He is a no-BS character, so perhaps his bluntness didn't mesh with others. I shouldn't speculate however. He is a valuable person to have on the site, much like Shadow1980. I do recommend following his twitter if you have an account, he is quite active and often has fascinating data out there on all kinds of things.

Cheers man.

huge thread, quit half way... just here to give my congrats to Sony on PS4 sales numbers. MS did quite well too.

So, it's confirmed again, VGC numbers are so wrong that they shoudn't even be mentioned next time...I mean, figures related to PS4.

Damn it, I missed the party. I honestly never thought about PS4 winning a November NPD with a near 250k gap. Though I'm not surprised by Rise of the Tomb Raider not being on the Top 10.

Gotta give it to the PS4 and Sony.

Good sales for all! Sony did an amazing job buying the right marketing deals this holiday.

Also what happened to ethomaz? It's sad to see him permabanned but I guess he couldn't really decide between his posting style on GAF and here, the rules are harsher here by far (which is good).
Still sad to see him gone but at least on GAF he can better say how he really feels and how he wants to express words.

 


Ask Carl.


This is the last I will say regarding ethomaz as it is off-topic but I think many people are "limited" in what they are allowed to say on this site. I know it is bannable to say people are fanboys and the site does all it can to make people behave better but it doesn't change what people are at their hearts. Yes, ethomaz always was, is and will be a Sony fanboy, in my opinion. Many others are fanboys, too, of course, more or less, which, in my opinion is totally ok and to me, it is also totally ok if you call a person a fanboy if it not meant in a "bad" way.

Ethomaz is always happy when Sony wins and is happy when MS loses. He defends Sony whenever they are "attacked" and whenever it is possible and tries to put a bad light on MS whenever it is possible. Again, in the way he does it in his "natural" behavior this is totally fine by GAFs standards where people can more openly show their colors but not here. In the end, again, I think he will find a more comfortable home at GAF - but I also expect some comments from him on GAF about the site and its community but there he is also in good "society" as hating on VGC is common on GAF.

Totally agree with you. And I'm also fine with fanboys of both side and the common mud slinging and warmongering. It only bothers me when I think there is 2 scales on moderation, but I like the moderating here.

Can we say that here on VgChartz, the Playstation 4 is still the underdog?

It blows my mind the amount of people that gave November to the X1.

People like me, GG, and some others were 100% convinced that the Ps4 would EASILY take the month, but on the other hand some were saying that the console wouldnt reach the million and that the X1 would top it.

Is it the underdog?

Nope, just that some users are very adamant on their defenses but lack the capability to do good previsions.

The silly fool got too caught up in trying to discredit Halo 5 sales which ended doing ok in the end in any case. Good laugh value eh!
