Forums - Website Topics - german newspaper used vgchartz as source

As a notice: the german newspaper 'berliner Zeitung' published an article about the success of the Wii and the slow start of the PS3, and they cited vgchartz as a source for german numbers. Congratulations to ioi and his helpers.

Nice!
Maybe I'm wrong, but isn't the Bierliner Zeitung one of those "big" German newspapers ?

Vgcharts is finally being recognized as a credible citeable source.



It has been recognized before. ioi started a thread about it, where people would post links to sites that had cited VGChartz.



I know everyone on 4chan.org uses this site as god's word on sales figures.

I don't read German, but it seems like its talking about German sales numbers, and that the first (?) time VGChartz "other" numbers are being recognized.

In another note, I've noticed that the steaky thread on GAF about prohibiting posting VGChartz numbers has disappeared. Any news about that ?

Mnemeth, post that link in the other post. I'll get the link for you.

That link is sort of a collection of places that mention VGChartz.

Oh, I didn't saw that. Sorry for opening another thread.

Well, I think this is pretty notable. Scanning the other thread, it looks like the first reference of VGC by print media. This is a very significant milestone.

Huzzah for VGChartz!

Since it was printed (right?) it would be cool if someone has a scan of the article
