Forums - Sales Discussion - Wikipedia and VGChartz

Just wanted to know why wikipedia doesn't accept this website as a "reliable source" for software and hardware sales?

(I spent like 2 hours updating abunch of games and they got rid of everthing)

Heheh. I bet there are Gaf and NPD cronies watching that page. :D



Its because wikipedia is a facts based website. Vgchartz is maybe pretty close but the numbers are not a fact.

No sales numbers are facts, only shipment numbers are

So where does VGChartz get its information or sources on the software and hardware sales, are they just taking a really good guess or is there a certain website were they get everything from?
