seriously the sony guys at N4G are the worst.

when my gap charts news items first started appearing there they were so against them and calling them biased and innacurate...

they love them now!?!?

That's because the gap/numbers didn't favor their console. Now that PS3 sales are picking up, they're liking them. Your last one failed approval for some reason. Anyways, you can't say anything positive about the 360 and its games over at N4G. They'll eat you alive.

That's not true, you can't say a bad thing about the PS3 over there, that is a no no.

It's the end of the world already?

N4G has the most bipolar users out there. I love the website. I love the concept. I hate the users.

I'll submit an article about sales and it'll get shot down with comments like "vggggggg cartzzzzzz" and "vg charts is fake" Giving NO reason for WHY they think our numbers are fake. Then I look at the front page, and the most popular story with 1000 degrees is an article about sales that uses our numbers. What?!

I have a feeling most people who claim VGC numbers are off have just heard that from other users and they are assuming we are inaccurate without any investigation.

I just went on their comments section for Vgchartz weekly sales article, man o man, they are bashing Vgchartz non stop, I mean everyone is, no one is even defending Vgchartz. 98% of them are saying that PS3 numbers are too low and 360 numbers are too high. They agree with the Wii's sales tho.

So I am just woundering, what are you guys going to do about this? Are the sales really that off?

DISCUSSSSSSSS

Its got alot to do with vgs history of underrating PS3 and its game sales and overrated 360 wihlie some how getting wii spot on. Silent adjustements would take care of that a month later but the initial feeling of "screw over" or cheated" remained. Uncharted if i remember correctly was severly undertracked.

Sales are close enough, and with ndp, charttrack and famitsu what not they are usually adjusted to be more correct.
