Yep its VgChartz, yes its all we have for a while.
Either way, 1.4 million is not bad at all.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Ergo, we have nothing.Yep its VgChartz, yes its all we have for a while.

That site should be banned here like on gaf.
Like i said should have released fall 2011 for holidays
The more people use vgchartz the more vgchartz thinks it's ok to give out false information.

At least VGCharts have the guts to give out numbers, every other site basically says "No i'm scared in case i'm wrong and get laughed at!".JohnF111Nonsense. Real sales trackers either provide numbers regularly (Media Create, Famitsu) or have commercial reason not to.
NPD charges US$10,000 per monthly report to its customers.
Gfk-ChartTrack similarly have no reason to publically disclose information they sell to customers.
lolchartz is not a real tracker. And there are no other sites making (false) claims to knowledge of sales numbers.

Still gives good around numbers ;pStill gives good around numbers ;pShadowriverUBFalse data is in no way, shape or form better than no data. It's simply misinformation.

VGchartz always greatly underestimates or overestimates numbers...I'm hoping it's underestimating. The only way I'd be shocked is if this was spot on.
So it sold 800k in Europe, North America combined so far? Pretty good. The launch week numbers will be good, it's March-June NPD that will interesting (and possibly terrible for it too)bonesawisready5World wide. Not just N.A. and Europe. I heard it also was launched in other PAL regions like Australia, don't know if it launched in the U.K or South AmericA yet. The total will need to be divided up more. Also the headlines 1.4m should say "after successful global launch window" since its been a month already in Japan.

If you're asking why chartzzzz is known to be made up numbers, that's relatively well known.

So wouldn't that be 800k outside of Japan?
If this is true, it's a good number, right?Alpha-Male22Even if it sold 2 million in US alone on February 22nd it would be good but you have to remember it will sell well its launch week regardless The Nintendo 3DS sold 3.6 million units in it's "launch window" but went on to sell 700k the next four months. I'd wait to see how bad the PS Vita does in NPD in March, April, May, June before we start declaring anything. Reacting to good sales during a launch is silly, of course all launches are good coz of early adopters and low volume of units at stores.

Again, did not answer my question. How do you know for a fact that vgchartz has made up these numbers? Do you have clear, undeniable proof? Probably not, but I would like to see your evidence either way.Btw, using obscure words does not help your dialetic at all.

I'm not trying to say these numbers are right or wrong but VGChartz is known to be wrong, by very wide margins both plus and minus a lot. They don't get paid to put these numbers out (I don't think so) so they really have need to be credible per say since no one is paying them. That's the idea. Anyone can claim they are right or wrong but neither will be right until NPD comes out next month.I didn't use any obscure words. :/Again, did not answer my question.

They have made up numbers in the past, e.g. Metal Gear Solid 4 launch numbers LINK
They have no access to higher level retailer point of sale data - that is how trackers like NPD, Gfk-ChartTrack, Media Create and Famitsu make extrapolations of the total market.
In any given month, they are wildly off from real tracker data, that their numbers are little more than guesses.
Take December. They overguessed the 360 by 1 million units, the Wii by 700,000 units and the PS3 by 250,000 units.
It's bullsh*t in table form. And I feel dirty for giving their horrible site a hit to retrieve it.
