Forums - Sales - Oh wow, Chart Track was actually wrong

Kudos to VGchartz for sticking to their own logic.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Good on charttrack for admitting their mistake

And people complain when we make adjustments

Seriously though - not to knock Chart Track here (as they do a fantastic job) but considering they directly track 85% of the market and yet still need to make these (reasonably significant) adjustments then it amazes me how people jump on VGC for the adjustments we need to make from time to time, especially given that we cover nowhere near 85% of the market (not even 1/50th of that).

How did they get it so wrong, I mean surely they would of looked at the figures at thought "hmmm something's a bit off here!"

 

VGChartz > Chart Track it seems!



 

EDIT: Do not read this :P



^^' Sorry ioi.

Just wondering didn't the Xbox 360 sold more than the wii for three months or was that chart track chart also for a half year :)?

Why they left out PS3 and 360 LTD?



I wonder if the chaps at Neogaf will ban Chart Track now?



Well i never moked VGC so you know.

All these firms just track numbers. Non are 100% correct. The only people who knw the real numbers are the big 3.

VGC and other chart tracking places can give you a reasnable bull park on how things are going. And vgc has consistently been on the same trendish as the shipped figures.

So good job.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I think ioi deserves an apology. He was bashed ruthlessly and without even remembering that he worked really hard in making VGC the reliable sales chart it has become. Although i didn't attack you tat time, i doubted the numbers that time, but i apologize for that. *Salutes*



what happened

anyone can fill me in?
