Isn't it common knowledge that Pachter uses this site? I mean, he said it in that press interview thingy when a member of the press asked him about his reputation, and inquired about where he got the statistics he uses from. There was a video of it somewhere.

EDIT: Ha, after some searching, I found a copy of the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU

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

You know, I don't mean to be rude, but I take offense to a lot of your posts.

Anyway, you didn't know, when Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft released their shipped data, and VGChartz was pretty much dead on the money, it leant a lot of creedance to this site, in the eyes of the entheusiast media. That's old, but not widely accepted, news.

You know Zen what's most valuable in this site? It's the tools and the history. Around the world and regionally. There's no other source as VGC. Although some people remember to say in every occasion, that they don't trust VGC numbers, it's been commonly accepted, that even if the weekly numbers would be off, going a few weeks back will give you numbers that matches other sources. And if they don't, numbers get adjusted if there's a reason for it. So, if you need to check out the sales trends, totals or something similar, you can find it all easilly from VGC, and it's free. As i've just read the Malstroms two new articles, VGC hit the blue ocean by having a disruptive business strategy.
