Forums - Website Topics - Request: Weekly Sales Archive.

I was thinking there should be some sort of archive, where we select a date, and are shown the figures for that week, for PS3, PSP, 360, Wii, DS, and perhaps PS2.

This would be useful, because it's nice to see how a week stacks up to previous weeks. Also, when there have been adjustments, it's good to see what, exactly, was adjusted.

It also helps in the Prediction League; often, NA sales are the last to come up, so on the front page, we see Others and Japan sales, but no NA. And often, the Prediction League has us predicting NA.

If this isn't available, could you implement it? And if it is available without fiddling with all sorts of options, could somebody tell me where I can find it?

Then, maybe we could have a monthly, and a yearly, and...

This is totally OT but how accurate is VGChartz when it comes to the sales recorded for consoles compared to say NPD? This site is shitted on in every other gaming site I have visited such as Gaf who ban you if you post numbers from this site. This site must have a shitty reputation for some reason; it has been going on for some time so maybe a year ago the numbers were well off?



 

I think you just want the weekly sales which are already accessible.

the hardware is at the bottom of the software. Also, for prediction league purposes you are better off looking at "hardware by date" under chartz and looking at like the last 8 weeks, then looking at the last year. (however, you could just use the weekly and look at the last year however I like to see the trends from the last year)

Also, if you put your mouse of the "America" in the main bar, we also have monthly and yearly sales. However, I don't think we count monthly the same as NPD. i'm not sure when we cut off the month, and which weeks are in and which are out as I don't really use that page.

the reason GAF hates VGChartz has nothing to do with accuracy, and more to do with a falling out with Brett. He was going to do this for GAF, but they didn't want to as they only believed in NPD. They got mad when he started his own website, and now they hate it. The hate is bred from the admins and mods and they have brainwashed the forum members.

As for accuracy, you can compare yourself when NPD comes out, but I think it is very good for what the site tries to do. Sure VGChartz is off every once in a while, but most the time they are right on with hardware. As time goes on, the numbers get adjusted, and this is the best place for accurate historic sales world wide. Think of it this way, when the sales first come out, they are within 20% of real life, and as time goes on, it gets much closer to within 5%. So numbers from this week may be off, but numbers from 4 weeks ago are spot on. Not to bad for Brett doing this as a hobby for the past 2-3 years.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Really? Well, their loss, then 

According to Alexa.com, we're only 3,000 behind them, and haven't had nearly as much time to build a reputation.



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

8 months as a member, and I've never scrolled down to the bottom of the weekly chart...you can comment on it?!

Thanks.
