Quote from: Rorono on Nov 22, 2015, 12:46 PMWith how out of the loop VGC has been with things in 2015 I wouldn't be surprised if ioi wasn't even aware that the COD deal switched and that PS4 was the one with a bundle.

Ioi isn't in charge of the charts anymore

Quote from: DerNebel on Nov 22, 2015, 07:45 AMThe chertz have arrived at the CoD week and are putting the X1 over the PS4 in hardware in both the US and the UK, anyone else not believing that for a second?

Pretty dang stupid for ioi to come to that conclusion.

Why do you think industry abandoned his numbers?

XCX is rising at amazon us and sold out completely at amazon fr and dang xcx shot up quick in 2015 best sellers already at 67.

Can someone also explain to me how xbox one which is dead in EU do 36k outside UK?
Also DK Tropical Freeze was a million seller as of December 2014....

One just needs to look at the NPD threads on Chertz. Not even that. Compare the PS4's shipments as of Sept. 30 vs Chertz's PS4 sales as of Nov 14.

It was also pretty dang obvious when ioi got permabanned from GAF. He flamed a lot and acted pretentiously to other users. When asked to disclose his methodology, he refused.

Must be the..hum... I'm trying to think of a country but I got nothing. That's probably what it does in a month, not a week

Yeah I really don't understand.
How the hell did xbox one have that much in NA a week after and beat the ps4 which had a friken cod bundle!

In your imagination everything is possible...

But yeah, the chertz are a long way off from ever having useful data, it's at best able to give very rough ballpark numbers. With the rise of digital purchases and ROW markets being stronger than ever (and we all know that ioi isn't getting any kind of data from these) I have a hard time seeing it ever become anything else though, which is why I don't see that site holding on much longer (totally off topic but did anyone see that tachikoma perm'd herself again, it's like that's happening every other month now).

Tachikoma isn't permabanned, though she removed her avatar and perma'd Tamron (her husband).

It would be cool and awesome if she joined this forum

Im gonna go get this site known on chartz.
That place is starting to get suckier by the week.

Ah I see she unperm'd herself again, it's such a weird back and forth with her.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind having her and tamron join here, not sure if this community would entertain her though, even if I think that she might have more of a chance of getting people to discuss a game they've played instead of everything going back to a console war, which she recently complained about on the chertz. We're just lacking a bit of manpower here, not too much mind you, but I think like 5 to maybe 10 more actually active members could really help liven the place up without turning it into a place that would actually require active moderations to take place, cause I actually really appreciate the fact that this forum works without that.

Cute Pikachu · Nov 22, 2015, 07:17 PM

This is probably my favorite forum with neogaf being 2nd and chartz being a distant 3rd.
