Like the thread title says, we now have confirmation that Pachter uses Vgchartz...so try not to pick on him too much...

I've posted a portion of the evidence on the mod boards for curious mods but the rest of you will just have to take our word for it.

Hopefully I can get an interview with the guy...

That's pretty ridiculous. Not to discredit this site, but surely analysts should use data gathered by NPD and the like.

Pachter's job is to analyze trends, which VGC numbers are more than sufficient for.

@Supposed

Maybe that speaks volumes about issues with NPD data.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

@Supposed

Simply because he visits this site doesn't mean it's the only site he uses, or the only place he gets his data. And please do not start the "NPD vs. VGC" debate again, I don't think my balls can handle getting smashed with a hammer while I try and block out the Vietnam flashback-like memories, again.

Uses 'it' in what sense?

Quotes figures from it?

Or has he created a user account and spends his leisure time posting in the off-topic forum?
