VGChartz.com global sales updates

Wait, are you saying vgchertz is overtracking the XBO?

Hold the presses!!!!!!!!!!

I know, I'm crazy

[Rorono]

I guess that answers the question. ioi doesn't subscribe to NPD

[Max King of the Wild]

Remember when ioi said they are in line with the major trackers in the major markets implying he is a subscriber to the trackers? Then he proceeded to say the reason Sony's lying was because their ROW numbers would be unheard of? Well, it looks to be all battleship to me now. He isn't in line with Germany and ROW wouldn't be so unheard of taking that into consideration

Yeah his explainations always seem off.

[Max King of the Wild]

Yeah his explainations always seem off.

me and him got into it one day. I was calling battleship on most of what he was saying. I ruffled a few feathers from the members that day. When you are on that site for as long as I have then, with a good memory, you should be able to pick up on so many inconsistencies. For me it started with SW sales. Seriously, there is no reasonable explanation why 360 sold so much more SW than the ps3 with the same userbase. Not only that, but just the titles that were selling and the amount didn't ever make sense. Why make the numbers so exact when he himself says it's an estimation and he claims to collect data from stores... Yet some games just seem completely made up being that I doubt the limited retailers he supposedly has keep track of niche titles. The easiest way to explain that is looking at my final point, japan. He has NO resources there at all. I don't know if he ever tried claiming he did but it's obvious he gets his numbers from famitsu and mediaxrete being the numbers are usually smack dab between them and only ever come out right after they do... Yet he tracks more SW in Japan than they do...

Somebody should use the preciser numbers to create a decent website called BetterVGChartz.com. 

[Rorono]

Speaking of 360 SW, i don't have a clue whether there was official info that backs it up or not, but I always thought it was mind boggling how a game like Fable 3 could have reached 5M. That game was so bad tbqh

edit: Taking bets on how quick ioi will fix XB1 UK numbers but won't touch PS4 Germany numbers!

[ethomaz]

More mistakes...

Xbox One reached 1m in UK... so the week average is close to 33k after PS4 1 million... PS4 won all weeks except the last three, that means the avg. is really good.

So pS4 is close to 1.5m in UK.

And 1m in Germany.

Fail VGC.

[Rorono]

half a million ps4s undertracked in just 2 countries?

[ethomaz]

half a million ps4s undertracked in just 2 countries?

Close to that.

I will say at least 400k.

[Xevross]

Close to that.

I will say at least 400k.

Yeah, I'd guess PS4 is easily close to 1m under, while XB1 is close to 500k

[Xevross]

I think we should forget about VGC and track numbers ourselves. It'll be impossible to do worse

That's right!
Where can I send my money to so we can get hold of the NPD figures?

[Legend]

Yeah we should!

Also what does chertz have xbo lifetime in uk at?

[Xevross]

Yeah we should!

Also what does chertz have xbo lifetime in uk at?

807k but that is with one week less of data
