If it weren't for Mr.Stickball, the xbox board would still be about "why the xbox sucks" threads. We have a good mod

 

and zenfolder, just because someone doesn't like your console(or has the same attitude as you) doesn't mean you have to be a d**k on any forum.

My favorite is how they complain that Ioi never produces a retailer list. These morons don't realize that those retailers have a contract with NPD and are not allowed to give their sales information to other parties. If Ioi were to publish a list with their retail name on it, NPD would have grounds for legal action against the retailer. Obviously Ioi isn't going to put his sources in legal jeopardy all to appease a few haters.

the problem with vgcrapz is multiple and I really feel sorry for all of you blind monkeys that buy into ioi's garbage. Here are the simple facts:
1) ioi's only reliable numbers are the hardware numbers but any prediction sites like neogaf and simexchange do a better job than vgcrapz. His software numbers are reliably embarrassing.
2) ioi claims to have retailers yet he doesn't. It's all a sham. People keep asking but he cannot deliver - always an excuse with that one. Me and my buddies love his ".......got to keep it secret because the retailers could get into hot water...." argument. That's rich!
3) ioi claims he no longer claibrates against the valid researcher's numbers, yet he does - still to this day. This is illegal and I am surprised nobody has stepped up to challenge him.
4) ioi falls back on shipping numbers from manufacturers whenever possible, and you vgcrapz monkeys fall for it - every time. Shipping is NOT sold. Shipping is NOT sold
5) ioi has been called out on providing breakouts for US Canada and Mexico yet he doesn't. Why? Simple, so that he can ALWAYS fall back on the fact that his numbers are off from NPD's because he combines all of the Americas. This is ridiculous but the fact that so many buy into it and don't question it is even more so.
6) ioi and his monkeys claim that the other researcher's are so wrong yet they always post their numbers and calibrate against them. If they're wrong, why use them at all?
What vgcrapz is is a simple site that relies on users to provide him with as much sales data as possible so that he can call it his own and make money off of your backs.
Keep challenging him and you will be met with silence. He's a coward. The site makes a mockery of research worldwide. Enjoy those numbers while you got 'em b/c this party can't last much longer. I could only imagine the pendulum swinging closer and closer.


lol We're all monkeys!


  sounds like someone was pissed that they got banned.

Simply because they do not want the numbers to be real. Fanboys.

 How do you know that?  How do you know those retailers are part from NPD?

It's funny how annoyed that thread got me with gametrailers. Plus the surges of VGchartz 'patriotism' whenever Twesterm, LeoJ, and Konnichiwa posted.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Why some people dislike VGC?

Well, maybe they dislike our unique and innovative banning system.

Aside from Wal-Mart and Toys R Us, all other major retail outlets are under contract to NPD.   I'm quite certain he doesn't limit his retail sampling to just those two retailers.
