Why is everything bolded??

Because criticizing the data management of VGChartz on VGChartz forums is really bold.

Maybe it's only because Sony included sales from Sunday and Cyber Monday in their Black Friday calculations while VGC's week estimate ends on saturday the 26th. I remember reading Sony had a good cyber-monday so maybe that's why.

No, Cyber Monday = Monday not Sunday anyway lol



lmftfy



Hopefully things will recover.

Nah its something to do with the original post editing all posts after it to also be bold. I dont know how it works but Ive seen it happen around here before. These forums have a bunch of hilarious glitches and exploits

OP used the bold command you see at the bottom right of the forum page (so, above the Quick Reply box), but didn't close the command or whatever is called.

So you go [ b ] and then [ / b ] He forgot the second thingy. Happened to me once at COMG; embarrasing night.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

VGC never posted Global charts before MC. US and UK charts updated on Monday, Europe on Tuesday, and then used MC + Famitsu /2 on Wednesday. Global charts were on Friday? I don't remember those.

ANYWAY, VGC has always been as accurate and reliable as it is today, the glory days were simply because they did it on time, not accurately. If you ask me, VGC is better than nothing, and heck the margin errors are not even that big. PS4 is undertracked by 1 million? That's what, less than 5%?

And let's say indeed every system and game is undertracked and/or overtracked... the totals are still pretty reliable. 3DS > PS4 >>> XB1 >>>> PS Vita ~ Wii U. We get a fairly realistic view at how the industry is holding nowadays.

Of course, I don't think anyone should quote VGC as a source for modern systems or games. The site has really good old data, not so much from Gen 7 onward. But hey, I write once every new moon for the site. Maybe I was brainwashed and my word is biased...
