I'm starting to have suspicions that VGChartz.com is unreliable.

Is it reliable?

They are proberly the same people who think wikipedia is worthless. Don't worry. They usually are close. Though they do have
adjustments

Reading the title of this thread made me think of NiKKOM's signature and the picture of TheSource with RELIABLE.

If I didn't believe that their numbers were accurate, I probably would have left VGChartz a while back.

It's not perfect, but it's damn close. And for the price we pay, we're not going to get more accurate information anywhere. Might I ask if the source of the "unreliability" was GAF?
