Because Media Create isn't out until Thursday (four days time) and this preview is normally very accurate?
@Chris Hansen - why even bother posting?
Actually it is the 360 version that has been most impressive - it is rare that the 360 version does half the sales of PS3 version on a multi-platform release in Japan
WTF?
Great score and great write-up. This is an amazing game!
"hillarious"
FF XIII is going to be around 1.5 - 2m total sales IMO
@Estranged - examples of when they've been "way off"?
Again you say it's BS to consider them reliable without actually saying why you feel this is so?
They provide weekly sales figures for over 4000 different games worldwide. "I'm not saying they can't be close in their guesses, but that doesn't make them reliable." - what would make them reliable then? If they can accurately "guess" sales for 4000 individual games each week then what is...
They make it pretty clear here how they get their data: http://www.vgchartz.com/wel...
Maybe take a little time to actually check the site out before just mindlessly bashing it like everyone else.
Great argument there - I see you provided lots of evidence like comparing to NPD figures or shipment figures and pointing out the differences...
WTF are you talking about again? Why are there so many people on this site posting this rubbish?
I love the Ar Tonelico clip!!
@Noct
Even though every other piece of data they release (recently - PS3 slim week one, ODST week one, Wii Sports Resort week one) ends up being spot on? Care to explain on what basis they fail?
After one million week one? I'd be expecting more like 3m by the end of the year if not more...
@IcyJoker187
huh?
Funny that their numbers are always nearly identical when NPD do eventually release their monthly figures then...
3rd fastest-selling PS3 game ever - that's pretty good really!
Huh? Why does that make it fake?
