I've said it before and i'll say it again: Congrats to ioi for making this happen.

@Obieslut: No it doesn't, VGC still provides weekly numbers and all the VGC data is publicly available. What would kill VGC, would be making us pay for the numbers.

@All VGC enthusiasts,

I agree, I think the growing following to VGChartz.com has these blokes shakingin their booties LOL

Way to go VGC keep on trucking!!!

That's good news....competition is a good thing and now vgchartz can get rid of duplicates and update games with old, missing and/or outdated data...C'mon ioi, you can do it :D

Very nice overall. Close to VGC, but we're a bit high on GH3 and Wii Fit (GH3 as indicated from several other sources, Wii Fit is odd, as we are close to Media Create (2156K) and Famitsu (2130K).

Mario Kart Wii is a bit low, as indicated by other sources before.

Coming into VGC territory with more resources. Will be interesting.  Haha ioi you've started something here.  Don't be surprised if these guys try to buy you out haha.

Well I think I can see some of them.... And I added something to the last post you quoted of mine which seems to refute them being for the end of July, that being, why is Mario Kart Wii under 1 million in Japan and the total figure (above it, as the total below includes MKDS) only seems to indicate 1.6 or 1.8 million (it's a tough one to see but I think it is obviously a 1 at the beginning... try zooming in to 150%)

but you must be able to see MKWii for Japan still under 1 million... which is certainly not the same as your table showing the correct figures.... instead it is oddly very similar to what VGC shows at the end of April.

You are correct in saying I originally thought the April release month was the sales ending period... but I realised it wasn't when I looked at other games. And I do believe that those numbers are all for the end of April rather than July.

The Mario Kart in Japan one is by far the clearest (because the differences change the number of digits) but all the other games number look low and for some reason oddly coincide with the end of April.

GHIII total for instance looks suspiciously like 2.9 million (compared to the 3.475 figure in the table)
SSBB number begins with a 4 as well, wheras the table gives 5.4 million.
