Whats wrong with that?

A Ferrari is a sexy machine.

Major Katsuragi is a sexy machine

And the PS3 is a sexy machine.

I don't always agree with you because you are a xbox fanboy, you are correct with this response. VGcharts is crap and has always been crap.

Its not the numbers that matter, its the order the consoles come in at, and that usually pretty spot on.

I love how VGChart's accuracy was never an issue till the last 6 months.

If as you say the numbers don't matter, then how can the order make any difference? I like to think i have been on N4G since well the begining, and there are plenty of times when VGcharts was so off with there numbers that they got the order wrong. So if as you we shouldn't take the numbers into consideration, then therefore we shouldn't take the order into consideration. I have never seen VGcharts be anywhere near correct, at all.

unless you were a ps3 fanboy then vgchartz was the most worthless peice of crap out there. now that they have the ps3 selling more in the uk all of a suddenly it the most reliable source on the planet funny how that works.

I own all 3 so I'm a fan of whatever one wins cause i dont like losers lol

C'mon, the 360 is not a piece of garbage, it's a heater that you can use during winter. Joking aside, with the ps3 hardware sales surpasses that of 360, its software sales are dominating as well.

How often to people ask this question?

NPD is American sales only, and is published monthly.
It says nothing at all about the rest of the world. To get a picture of whats happening elsewhere you HAVE to look at numbers from other sources, and whilst there are one or two sources for a couple of countries (like chat track in the UK), theres no other source that gives you an overall view of the market in the way that VGchartz does.

I too, am sick of how many people who were formally happy to discuss numbers from VGchartz, are now discrediting it because it doesn't show what they want.

It is what it is - a statistical analysis based on its own sales data (not completely fabricated from thin air as some have suggested.)

To pretend its numbers are 'spot on' is plainly wrong, but you can do a statistical analysis of their results that show they are consistently very close to reality, and as such, their numbers are a good indicator of what has actually happened and a useful discussion point for those that are genuinely interested in sales rather than 'platform posturing'.

If someone wants to present a statistical analysis showing that VGchartz are constantly way out, then please do so, but you will find that is not the case.
If you wish to supply a hitherto unknown source of European sales data so that we can glean the trends from elsewhere, then again, please do so.
Until then, VGChartz is what we have, and as an indicator of whats happening, it serves its purpose well.
Stop the puerile bleating now that it doesn't show you what you want to see - its quite pathetic.

Here, here. Well said, that man. I agree.

Yes, VG Chartz is not an accurate source; yes, it is sometimes wrong by a significant amount; and, yes, it makes mistakes. However, it is the only source we have for some of the markets; it has consistantly proven itself to be broadly accurate -- especially regarding overall trends -- even if the individual numbers are derived from comparitively small and incomplete data samples, and are never 100% accurate; and it is constantly updated and adjusted as new data is released.

Yes, not perfect, but certainly better than nothing as the numbers they present do track the trends very well, even if they are not accurate.

So, if others don't like VG Chartz numbers, they should just ignore them, and should stop posting pointless comments on stories about them. The numbers may not interest everyone, but they do interest me.

However, what does bother me is VG Chartz inability to spell the word 'Charts' in what appears to be a misguided attempt to be cool. It lends an amateurish feel to the place.
