Forums - Sales - Vgcharts conspiracy: Guitar hero 3

so today when the figures came in guitar hero 3 on all platforms was shown with figured leading up to the 27th, they have since been removed from what I can see, but the 360 version was in the 140k range or so. Guitar hero 3 didn't launch during these numbers though, which leads me to wonder where those numbers came from?  



Note: Some games in my collection are no longer owned, but have owned.

General predictions? internet gremlins? There are plenty of possible reasons

Personally, I blame Wii fit.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Maybe was all a dream....

Livin' in sin is the new thing.

                         

well some would insinuate a made up figure, many saw the guitar hero 3 thing so i'm wondering if there will be a reason as to why it was listed.

It's Nintendo's fault, destroying the videogame indust...

Oh wait, wrong thread :P



Around the Network

When I was reading the comments I was wondering what the commentators were talking about. I saw now Guitar Hero numbers, but that's because I logged in about 15 minutes ago...

I suppose there was a mistake, and the sales for GH III on day one were added to the charts. I don't know what he deal was, but finding that out somehow makes me feel the site is less credible (maybe they just put randon numbers?). I know it doesn't offer the most reliable weekly American charts, but then again, VGChartz is the only place where you can see any numbers for American in the first place. Even if they aren't always accurate, it's always nice having numbers to look at every week.

Add me for Pokemon, New Leaf, and Fire Emblem, Mario Kart 8.

My guess is that some/all retailers give ioi Monday -Sunday numbers and not Sunday-Saturday. Both 7 day increments so it doesn't affect much unless there is the odd Sunday release which GH3 was.

I worked at waldenbooks years ago and we calculated all our totals Monday-Sunday because splitting things in the middle of the weekend was really complicated. Alos it fit with our sales/specials and allowed for change out and reporting oon Monday(the slowest day).

So I am guessing the numbers that showed up were first day sales. Nice



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

*naznatips is exempt

Those numbers where probably the midnight launch plus the Sunday sales. Since the charts go to Saturday, he edited the number so that only the Midnight launch numbers showed up.



The numbers were miscalculated in Eurodollarpounds.

 I'm thinking this joke is wearing a little thin, but maybe that's just me.
