THIS there is no respectable online outlet in the world that has "z" at the end , it gives users the wrong impression.

VgChartz and N4G go pretty far back and for quite a while now nobody their trusts us.
Someone can even get banned for making a thread about sales from VGChartz.



guys the Z thing is overrated

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

VGchartz has been around for a relatively short amount of time and during that time has made some notable corrections to numbers, which of course certain fanboys will remember for years to come. However on the plus side the amount of crapping on VGchartz numbers across the internet appears to have significantly reduced over the last year as the numbers tend to compare better to other sources and shipment figures.

Also some people can't wrap their heads around the concept that VGchartz can be 10% high/low verse NPD or Mediacrate and still be an acceptable estimate.



VGChartz is not perfect on 1st day numbers. It may not be correct but it more correct than any other number out there at this time. Of course, there are no other numbers out there at this time. So there you go.

VGChartz tends to be more accurate with the weekly charts.

That doesn't come only from NG4. We have to stand firm against this bad press and accept the numbers and the adjustments from the VGC's team. Then the truth will come by itself sooner or later.

We as vgchartz users have to prove to these sites that what they say about us is wrong.



TO GOD BE THE GLORY

The one thing I do know about Vgchartz is this. IOI is my hero!



Tease.

Not only that site but other sites dislike vgchartz clamming the ioi invents the numbers.Anyway I would advise you to ignore them,it's the best thing you can do.



Bad reputation in n4g...
Well, this is a good thing for a site, isn't it?
Possibly the most unreliable source of information on the net. (n4g)
Kotaku has a bad reputation and lots of negative feedback in n4g too!

That's why what pisses me off most in VGChartz is the countless threads made by VGChartz members copying n4g "news". Quit this shit guys!
