They seem to exist only to demoralize PC gamers.

Typically they don't have a great track record here for over inflating sales estimates. Estimating isn't an exact science, so I'm not really blaming them.

VGchartz can be as trusted as any anaylytical source people like to concentrate exclusively on the times they are wrong but ignore the fact a good 70% of the time they are spot on or within aclose margin to the end released numbers...

Its much like pachter people concentrate exclusively on some of his most bone headed predictions...but here is the problem he is paid to be an analyst and continues to be someone who was wrong all the time or majority of the time wouldn't be making money as an analyst.

They are very accurate, especially right after the big Three have released their numbers.

Hehe, now I see the flaw in my grammar. :) I mean they don't have a great track record here, because they always overinflate their sales estimates.

no one trust gamechartz because ps3 is in last place, then every year when m$ and sony releases there number they are very close to gamechartz. either way gamechartz numbers are guesses but each month they are updated when npd released their numbers
