Just one question. Should we stop making baby seal jokes?

baby seal jokes are used whenever someone uses Amazon or any other online retailer as an indicator for sales =P (MikeB often does that), then supposedly, 1 baby seal gets murdered =P

I think DollaDolla started this. Sometimes VGchartz users make a thread using Amazon as evidence that game X or console Y is selling very well. So we tell them that every time they use Amazon as evidence, a baby seal dies. It is just that Amazon clients buying habits is very different than the average guy. Games with average sales can climb to the top 10 list on Amazon (but they do not keep the position for more than a day or some hours).

Wonder if people would use it more if they got more Vgchartz dollars for buying stuff through the widget...

 That is actually a good idea. Maybe do a 1:1 ratio of US$ to VG$. All the Soriku's and Leo-J's would use it to help compete in their quest to be #1.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

It would also help if it automatically chose the Amazon store appropriate for you based on IP address. Also, more than 2 countries would also help.
