RIP, loved the weekly charts, Easily the main reasons I came and lurked for so many years and then signed up. Good luck with the new system.
| Kerotan said: End of an era. Those weekly charts are why I visited this site for over 10 years and why I signed up. I'll give the new system a chance before making a judgement. |
Gonna miss them too.

Damn. I'm gonna be really sad to see the weekly charts go. Those were definitely the biggest things I was looking forward to the most on this site.
I have hopes that the new system will be just as, if not more effective and enjoyable to look forward too.

Sad day, but I guess increased digital sales had lowered overall accuracy of physical sales tracking only too much. Just one thing, please, leave the old charts accessible.

- However, all of that requires Talon to do a lot more work on the search engine pages and so it's not currently ready. That explains why for now Marth and I have only been adding shipments for exclusives and also why all of the changes haven't gone live just yet. Once Talon's finished the work on how multiplats end up displaying we'll be able to roll out the new system in full, retire all of the old systems but allow people to continue to access them as 'legacy' features if they so wish, and Marth and I will get busy adding data for thousands of multiplat titles.
I think that covers everything for now. It's kind of difficult to explain some of the changes without visual aids but I've given it my best shot above. If you have any questions though just ask. |
So regarding these legacy features, does this mean we'll have access to every sales estimate chart ever produced in the history of the site, forever? Because I'll miss them if they go away, and there's just so much data there, even if it isn't perfectly accurate, that it would just be a horrible shame to lose it all, or any of it for that matter. I'm sure there's still plenty of use we can get out of it.

Interesting question
I would like to ask a question, it might be a silly one but that doesn't stop them popping into my mind, have you thought about approaching Sony for sales data that includes digital, now i'm not talking up to date sales, more along the lines of getting historical data from PS3 and PS4, and if that succeeds then convincing them to do periodic updates of Sony games since anything on a small time scale ain't happening.
Then you just have left the super easy task of getting Sony to convince 3rd parties to add their games.
Research shows Video games help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I'll answer that one: No.
It's Brett's software, his algorithm - and no, it stays locked behind the door.
I've mulled this over myself, because frankly it's just too damn easy for MS, Sony, and Nintendo to, at the very least, know and release digital sales numbers - there's no possible way on any planet, they don't have this basic information readily available... ...and yet, neither one of the three has ever been forthcoming with releasing those numbers to ANYONE. I don't know why - I don't know what the big secret is all about. But I just don't see them giving that information over to us (or anyone else) without somebody forking over $$ for the data. |
Recon he'd sell it? @ioi would you?
