I agree with the z hate, and disagree with this being allowed the mantle of best selling game ever.

But whatever, who am i to complain?

www.vgcharts.com is taken. The guy used to compile NPD numbers in charts and graphs and then started to do shipping info.

This site used to be www.vgcharts.org before Ioi changed the S to a Z to avoid confusion. It may not sound as professional but I don't think even Ioi expected his site to become this big.

The site is still hotlinked to Vgcharts.org to this day.

Heh, people had a choice... if they didn't want Wii Sports then don't buy a Wii. XD

And they too took note of the 'z'.

I don't trust sites with a 'q' instead of a 'ck'

lol. I didn't realize that. What's up with that elitist mentality from another site with odd spelling.

I actually mentioned that in the comments section XD

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Isn't it a bit hypocritical to complain about the VGChartz 'z', while Joystiq does the same thing with their 'q'? :p

JoystiQ lol.

I guess when you've been douches for so long you become immune to your own douchey hypocrisy.

I agree that the z on the end seems amateurish. If they ever get the chance to change it to s I think they should go for it.
