I mean, this week is pretty important to VGC users. It's the debut of Monster Hunter Unite in West and we want to see if the game have the same effect in West it had in Japan of saving PSP hardware(good actually) and software(pretty poor, mainly in EU, having more hardware sold than software...). And this problem should be fixed soon, we have the DQIX debut next week and i'm sure everyone want to see it's numbers.

I understand you are putting all you efforts to improve the site like an all, since you are already working in many new stuff you could consider start a project for tracking PC games sales and how many gaming computers are out there.

I actually surprised it took this long for a thread to pop up about this. Usually when we junkies have numbers withdrawl, several threads pop up.

Guess people are becoming more patient. :)

My personal focus is to expand and improve vgc as a sales site. All of the new features i am working on are to increase our data coverage, setup a full research team, fully track all download sales, perform surveys, sell advanced data and analysis tools to investors and so on.

Don't worry, sales will always be my focus on VGC - I spent most of my time at E3 talking to analysts, investors, game developers - forging links and partnerships for the future. Like I say we have a number of very exciting announcements on the way. Now that VGC2.0 is up and running, Pat is looking after all game db / forum development, we have a self-contained news team in place, ad representation, pr team and everything else - I am now putting all of my time into developing new tools for collecting more and more data and ultimately positioning us as a serious research firm.

Also, I have commented directly on the UK stuff - I don't think discrepancies are nearly as large as some people are trying to make out.

I was really starting to worry about this.  The primary attraction of this site for me is the sales information.  Since just before VGChartz 2.0 and since, I have felt the site was straying from focus.  Good to hear that you are not losing focus. 

You should post a news article about the explaining the discrepencies.

You also forgot the Conduit released the same week. I can't wait to see well this game does on the Wii, considering it's hardcore.

Hopefully after all these changes VGchartz will have a more professional reputation around the internet, which can only be a good thing. Especially if it helps the numbers become even more accurate.
