VGchartz

[yoshi1999]

This is a website all about gaming. You can get the reviews, release dates, and my favorite part, the sales. If you ever want to see how your favorite games sold or is selling, check out this website, I really love it!  ;D (you can also see how consoles themselves are selling)

Thing is, no one really wants to see that site. Its information are totally unreliable. They usually correct it, but they don't until they get the official numbers.

But they always adjust, and they aren't unreliable if they are usually right. Of course I know there is mistakes, but I still like to see it.

If they're not good enough for Vip they're not good enough for anyone bro.

It isn't a reliable site.

See, Justin, my point still stands. Come back when you realize they ARE unreliable.

You probably did. I know that I never used the site as an actual source, though.

 

[yoshi1999]

I still find it interesting to check, then always come back to find out its actual sales. But whatever, you don't like it you don't

I'd love to hear about it.

Ill be at my house Sunday to put up my podcast so I'll do it then. The increase of digital sales makes stuff like this and NPD numbers useless.

 

[cookieboy17]

Yeah I was never a big fan of this site, but isn't the worst site ever. It served its purpose a few years ago

So right now video game sales are at an all time low for accuracy and availability. Industry Standards like the NPD sales are now unreliable since they don't track digital sales which are becoming more and more important. The only people who have those numbers are the publishers themselves. The only times we ever hear about accurate sales numbers are in financial reports and press releases. So basically the only times we get sales information is when it is either A) an Important game for a company [like Tomb Raider being disappointing sales-wise for Square Enix] or B) When a game is a huge success and the publisher wants to get that number out there [GTA V for example]. Even when a press release is issued you still have to check out the wording because a lot of people will state how many units shipped instead of sold [Call of Duty Ghosts did this recently].

VGChartz is a good idea but its been unreliable when digital sales were less of a big deal and now its even more unreliable. Also you can't trust a site that replaces a 's' with a 'z'

The only good letter to replace is 'c' with 'k'. Long Live Mortal Kombat!
