I demand Pony Friendz be updated. OMGZOR!!!! Undertracked by a million! This site must hate the DS.

Yes, because when someone points out a problem the appropriate course of action is to mock them.

Duh!  It's all we do here!

My opinion is that if company has published shipments and Vgchartz is way off.That should be updated.Expecially if the game is big caliber.

Low profile games like attack of toy bots..almost should be ignored..You get the point.

Interesting. This article is from February, and says GoW sold over 4.7 million copies.

I think you are refering to old info shanbcn.  And are you saying you expect ioi to change numbers just because of the article you found?  I don't think it's a more reliable source than what ioi pulls from.  The article doesn't specify where it gets the number.  I think it's an old number.

 

 Well if those numbers do date all the way back to Feb I think we can close this topic now without doubt.

too bad niether one has sources.

Also anyone notice how they mention Windows game and 360 game... I was looking for Epics shipment report to see if the sales have both versions.

The article is like what, 6 months old? Gears received an official price cut since then as well as a two-disk special edition, the VGChartz numbers are well up to date unlike the article.

The article is not even 2 months old.

Your right, May 30, VGChartz had it at 5,186,477. Oh well, it's only 8% off not the end of the world.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Well, but their quoted number might be several months old.
