1 - Who approved this?
Seriously, after the last NPD COMPLETELY OWNED VGchartz and their educated guess of a sales analysis, why are we approving this garbage on N4G?

VGC may be off but what you're doing is trying to distort reality.

July NPD(US) numbers vs VGC July (America's or NA) numbers doesn't prove VGC was over tracking PS3 by 50k and the 360 by 200k lol.

What I'v seen were NPD(US) July numbers, I have yet to see the Canada NPD(VGC added both markets and maybe more in the America's)

Could be wrong maybe VGC was actually showing separate tracking *just* for the "US market" and over tracked 360 by 200k, I have not seen it, I only recall the VGC American July listing.

Dude, you realize NPDs are actual sales numbers and VGChartz are estimates, or guesses. How's that a distortion of reality?

1.3 - Wow
So by your logic, Canadians bought 200k 360s in July, about same as US. Yeah that should justify VG bumping 360 figures to almost double than actual ones.

Both story and Cyrus.

If you don't want to put up with this VGC junk, just keep reporting the stories as fake and report Cyrus while you're at it.

5 - Talk about good taste of Europeans.
look at that top 10 software list. Where the hell are the non-Wii and DS games?

Only good game is Mario Kart Wii. The rest is average.

BTW,GTA4 overall sales are better on PS3 in Europe. Quite a contrast.

Ok,someone tell me how VG Chartz counted SC4 sales. Total cumulative sales according to them on 360 and PS3 is still 1 million while Namco announced they have already 'sold',not 'shipped' 2 million copies worldwide. WTH?

umm you just answered your own question. This is European, not worldwide
thus only Euro SC4 sales are shown, add NA and JAP and you got a bit over 2 million.

I counted overall worldwide sales for SC4 amigo. Check it for yourself. 0.56+0.47 for SC 4 in their database.

I might be in the minority, but reading these poor guesses is alot less annoying than listening to you guys b*tch about them every week.

Would it honestly kill you to just skip a story when you see VG in the blurb?

Anyone can go to VG by themselves you know, you arent saving anyone from anything.

Now I'm aware of the irony that I'm being a hypocrite right now for complaining that you'se dont have to read it, when I myself dont have to read your comments, but its worth it in this case to point out the bloody obvious, so dont bother pointing that irony out. Go read something else.

Oh look, a story on Too Human.......

PS
It hilarious how you guys call NPD "official numbers." You know they're just guessing too right? They just cast a wider net, thats all.

9.1 - Here's the thing though
You don't see Sony, Nintendo, or MS quoting VGchartz do you? They don't even mention them

No, they do quote the NPD numbers however. Which tells you who they feel is accurate.

Hence, why these estimates are classified as rumors here at N4G...
People act like this guy is trying to pass these numbers off as the absolute truth. It's pathetic that so many here are offended/threatened by this form of speculative entertainment for us gamers. Sometimes they do alright, sometimes they don't do so hot. But NPD only reports for America, so we have no other way to have even a remote idea of what's going on worldwide. If you don't like VGChartz, then do yourself, and the people who don't mind it a favor and DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. The people who run the site have deemed it o.k. That is, unless you just enjoy subjecting people to your annoying, selfish b!tching...

VGChartz sucks. VGChartz cant even call themselves an ESTIMATE after the July NPD b*tch slapped them.

This isnt news, its not even a rumor, its out and out false. Cyrus, please quit posting this garbage.
