So your point is that in the worst case, this has set back Vgchartz's progress for at most one day?

ok, just to explain in more detail: the new york times and other newspapers are established outlets for serious news. No one is questioning their competency in bringing the best news to their customers. They can release fake news once a year without anyone using this one example to attack or question their competency.
Now look at vgchartz: it is constantly being questioned about its competency to deliver the right numbers by some sites/ people. Messing with the numbers, even on 1st of April, will be used by some doubters as an example for the "fake" numbers the site makes up.
Like I said, switching the main nuumbers is good fun and all. The resulting switch in detailed weekly numbers (I guess induced by the data structure ioi uses) can be intentionally misunderstood and abused by doubters.

Frankly, I'm tired of this argument in a day which is supposed to be about jokes and fun, so having said that I'm leaving this thread.

I think Ioi did this as an April's fool joke and that's it ... now if people doesn't realize of that ...
I don't get what's all the fuss with this, lots of important sites pull their own jokes this day... Blizzard, IGN, gamespot etc.. and you don't see people complaining about that, they take it as what it is ... a joke
Come on.... it's April 1 !! ;D

Exactly, click on any featured video at Youtube and see what they did.

Well said ioi, it would be one thing if ioi played with the numbers as a joke just to taunt 360 or PS3 or Wii fans on random weeks but today is April 1. Jokes/pranks are to be expected and if anybody thinks it ruins our credibility they're more likely idiots who already didn't like VGC.
Google pulls pranks all the time but is taken seriously every other day of the year, why not VGChartz?
