    reask: If you learn anything in life, learn that VGC is a joke.

    @psychotext.
    are you serious I have been using their page for months now.
    who is reliable for figures.

  7. reask said:

    thanks patlike

  8. Psychotext said:

    reask: There are no reliable figures for Europe (available to the public anyway). For the US use NPD figures, for Japan use Media Create numbers.

  9. reask said:

    still psychotext they are usually in the ball park with there figures.
    npd figures only come out once a month I couldnt wait that long lol.

  10. Psychotext said:

    I can make up some figures for you if you like… I’m more accurate than VGChartz: Prediction Competition (VGC is “Banned Site LOL”)

    …and that’s one of their better performances, they’re usually miles out. I see no point in putting any stock in figures which are clearly pulled out of someone’s arse. Especially their Euro numbers.

  11. reask said:

    are they that bad I mean they say they track weekly.

  12. patlike said:

    They’re inaccurate. Gamasutra did a good piece on it recently. Hang on, I’ll find a link.

  13. Psychotext said:

    They say plenty of things my good man, few of them with any aspect of truth to them. :)

  14. reask said:
